So it is not possible to write such sentence, do you know some good examples that best describe the use of a sentence with two clauses consisting of one subject and two verbs?

Thank you for giving an example, although I think that your example is a bit complicated for me.

What do you think about this one, "It is and will always be the best choice" ? This is a sentence ( that ) consists of two verbs and one subject.

edyguards This is a sentence ( that ) consists of two verbs and one subject.
It is indeed—but it has only one clause (which had a compound predicate). As I have said, you will not be able to construct a compound sentence with only one subject but two finite verbs.

A clause can have any combination of the following:
- a compound subject
- a compound verb

A sentence can have any combination of the following (but it must have one main clause):
- one or more independent clauses.
- zero or many dependent clauses

A compound verb is two or more verbs with a coordinating conjunction:

He looked, saw, jumped and ra
