Defining a Compound Verb
A compound verb, or compound predicate, is used when the subject does more
than one thing. You could write separate sentences for each verb, but if the subject
is the same, thats just not necessary. For example:
John paints beautifully. + John sells his work from time to time. = John paints beautifully
and sells his work from time to time.
Compound verbs, like compound subjects, are also combined with a
coordinating conjunction. The above example used and, but you can also use
other conjunctions.
Mike either lies all the time or has the most extraordinary life Ive ever seen.
Alice neither likes the water nor has any plans to get in it.
The following 15 sentences use compound verbs:
1. The victim sprayed her assailant with pepper spray, punched him in the nose,
kicked him in the groin, and ripped out his nipple ring.
2. Last night, we drank a bottle of wine and watched a movie.
3. Every Sunday, Sherri goes to the store and buys food for the week.
4. My cats lie around all day and run around all night.
5. Her husband fixes things that break around the house, irons better than she
does, and bakes the best apple crisp youve ever tasted.
6. I either get a lot done during the day or do nothing at all.
7. The weekend either flies by or drags on forever, depending on what youre
doing.
8. The rain here either mists or drenches.
9. Someone either hit my car with a shopping basket or backed into it as they
were leaving.
10. Stay or go; I dont care which.
