* Using "and": "My dog and my cat love to nap in the sun." (Both the dog and the cat are the subjects, sharing the verb "love")
* Using "or": "Either the coffee or the tea will do fine." (Coffee and tea are alternative subjects; only one will be the actual subject depending on the choice)
* Using "nor": "Neither the children nor their parents were at home." (Both children and parents are excluded as subjects, negating both)
* With a list of subjects: "Apples, bananas, and oranges are my favorite fruits." (Multiple subjects joined by commas and "and")
* With a combination of conjunctions: "John, Mary, and their friends are going to the party. John and Mary will drive, but their friends will walk." (Multiple compound subjects used in different parts of the paragraph).
The key is that each part of the compound subject performs the action of the verb. The verb must agree with the subject; this often means using a plural verb when you have a compound subject joined by "and," unless it's something grammatically singular (like "peanut butter and jelly" which is treated as one singular thing).
