The competition is to see who can build the most and the best sentences in
a given time. The teacher gathers up the slates and reads the work aloud,
or has the pupils exchange slates and read it themselves.




LESSON 35.

COMPOUND SUBJECT AND COMPOUND PREDICATE.

When two or more subjects united by a connecting word have the same
predicate, they form a +_Compound Subject;_+ and, when two or more
predicates connected in like manner have the same subject, they form a
+_Compound Predicate_+.

In the sentence, _Birds and bees can fly_, the two words _birds_ and
_bees_, connected by _and_, have the same predicate; the same action is
asserted of both birds and bees. In the sentence, _Leaves fade and fall_,
two assertions are made of the same things. In the first sentence, _birds_
and _bees_ form the _compound subject_; and, in the second, _fade_ and
_fall_ form the _compound predicate_.

Analyze and parse the following sentences.

+Models+.--_Napoleon rose, reigned, and fell_.

_Frogs, antelopes, and kangaroos can jump_.
