In one line
A compound predicate is when one subject does two or more things in the same sentence.
The rule
A compound predicate is made when a single subject has two or more verbs or actions joined by a word like 'and' or 'or'.
Let's understand it simply
Imagine you are playing cricket and shouting at the same time. If we say, "Ravi bats and shouts," 'Ravi' is the subject. 'Bats and shouts' is the compound predicate because Ravi is doing two things.
Remember it
One person, two or more actions — that's a compound predicate.
How a compound predicate works
Start with one subject (e.g., Ravi)
Add two or more actions (e.g., bats, shouts)
Join actions with 'and' or 'or'
Write as one sentence: 'Ravi bats and shouts.'
Quick recap
A compound predicate has one subject doing two or more actions.
The actions are joined by words like 'and' or 'or'.
