question

Select the eight words that make up the complete compound predicate.

The witness raised her right hand and took an oath.

key idea

Every sentence has a complete subject and a complete predicate.

When the complete subject is compound, two or more simple subjects are joined by a conjunction and share the same predicate.

Robert and his classmates will be attending a ballet performance.

Each simple subject in the compound subject tells who will be attending a ballet performance.

When the complete predicate is compound, two or more simple predicates are joined by a conjunction and share the same subject.

Sarah woke up late but still arrived at work on time.

Each simple predicate in the compound predicate tells what Sarah did.

solution

The complete compound predicate is raised her right hand and took an oath. It has two simple predicates that are joined by a conjunction, and both share the same subject. It tells what the witness did.
