Question

Write two sentences about people at a party. Include a compound subject in each sentence. Underline the subjects.

Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

The subject of a sentence is its topic, what the sentence is about.

When a sentence has two or more subjects, we have what is called a compound subject. Compound subjects are connected by "and" or "or". They can also present commas, when there are more than two subjects.

Let's write the two sentences about people at a party. The compound subjects are underlined:

1. Nadine and I had a lot of fun dancing all night.

2. Jason, Clara, and Chris jumped into the pool at midnight.

Sentence 1 provides us with information about two people: Jason and "I". Sentence 2 provides us with information about three people: Jason, Clara, and Chris.

Answer 2

The answer could be:

  My sister and her best friend brought snacks to the party.

  Neither Pete nor Kate showed up at the party.
