A complex sentence might have a compound verb in it when a subject has two or more verbs that interact with it in some manner. If the subject only has a single verb associated with it, it is not a compound verb.
A sentence with a compound subject.Bob and I went to the movies. Bob and I is the compound subject, went is the verb.
I went to work and saw my boss.
A compound subject is when two or more subjects share the same predicate in a sentence. For example, "John and Sarah went to the store." The simple predicate is the main verb in the sentence that shows the action or state of being of the subject. In the example sentence, "went" is the simple predicate.
The simple predicate in the sentence "I was surprised" is "was surprised." It indicates the action or state of being of the subject "I."

Both use a simple structure: first person subject, past-tense verb, simple object of the verb.
