Compound sentence without a subject?
Hi! What kind of sentence is the example below? I assumed compound due to the FANBOYS conjunction but as there's no subject in the second clause I'm not sure.
She loves to eat cake but hates biscuits.
She loves to eat cake but hates biscuits.
Top answer
She loves to eat cake but hates biscuits. It is not a perfectly parallel construction. Still I would call it a simple sentence with a compound verb or compound predicate.
