A compound subject has two or more subjects.

In the sentence "Jerry and Carl went to the movies", "Jerry" and "Carl" are the compound subjects.

In the sentence "Bob, the ice-cream man, and Sue, his new wife, are going to Memphis on their honeymoon", "Bob" and "Sue" are the simple compound subjects, and "Bob, the ice-cream man" and "Sue, his new wife" are the complete compound subjects.

Be warned - on tests on compound subjects, teachers don't want you to put "Jerry and Carl"; they prefer "Jerry, Carl".
