compound subject
is made up of two or more subjects joined by a conjunction. 
A compound subject whose subjects are joined by 
and
usually requires a plural verb. 
Blueberries and strawberries
ripen
in different seasons.
Compound subjects that function as a single unit take singular verbs. Also,
compound subjects preceded by 
each, every
, or 
many a
take singular verbs. 
Strawberries and cream
is
a favorite summer dessert. 
Every basket and box
is
filled with berries.
When the parts of a compound subject are joined by 
or
or 
nor
, the verb should
agree with the part closest to it. 
Is
a trowel or gloves in the bag? Either a trowel or gloves
are
weighing it down.
Making Verbs Agree with Compound Subjects
In each sentence, (1) first decide whether the compound subject is a special case.
Do the two parts function as one unit? Or does 
each, every
, or 
many a
appear
before the compound subject? Then underline both parts and the connecting word
with one line. (2) If neither of these situations is true, underline each part of the
compound subject separately and underline twice the conjunction joining the parts.
Finally, underline the correct verb.
