Compound subjects have at least two parts joined by or . . . nor, not only . . . but also, or and, as in snacks and fruit juice, and each part may be singular or plural. A plural subject has just one word as the simple subject, but that word is plural (like plates). Finally, a collective subject contains a simple subject representing a group (such as jury, which describes a group of twelve); the collective subject may be singular (jury) or plural (juries).
