    A Compound Subject is a subject with two or more nouns or pronouns joined by the word "and" or another conjunction.



    Example: Her shoes and ankles were covered with mud.

    'Her shoes and ankles' is the compound subject.

    ---------

    A Compound Predicate is a predicate with two or more verbs joined by the word "and" or another conjunction.



    Example: Jan jumped on her bike and rode around the block.

    The compound predicate is 'jumped on her bike and rode around the block.'

    -----------

    A sentence can have a compound subject AND a compound predicate.



    Example: Sue and Maria went to the mall and shopped for an hour.
  • Roger and Regina....... Compound subject.



    stopped working..... and ran......Compound predicate

    as there are two predicates joined by "and"



    I am pretty sure that this is correct. I am working on the principle that "and" makes the subject or predicate a compound .
