47cRevising compound-predicate fragments

A compound predicate consists of two or more verbs, along with their modifiers and objects, that share the same subject. Fragments occur when one part of a compound predicate lacks a subject but is punctuated as a separate sentence. These fragments usually begin with and, but, or or. You can revise them by attaching them to the independent clause that contains the rest of the predicate.
