Complete predicates in compound sentences
For example, what is the complete predicate in the following compound sentence?
A program arranges pictures on a page, and it lays out type as well.
A program arranges pictures on a page, and it lays out type as well.
Top answer
"Aranges pictures on a page" is the complete predicate of "program," and "lays out type" is the complete predicate of "it". This sentence has two independent clauses, so each has a subject and verb (program and arranges, and it and lays), and so each has a complete predicate, as well. It's the end of a long day, and, for some reason, I'm blanking on whether or not "as well" is part of the predicate of the 2nd independent clause or not.

- I'm thinking it modifies lays, and therefore is, but maybe someone else whose brain is more rested will weigh in on that!
