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_.
