    A compound subject contains two or more subjects, joined by and, or,

    or nor, which share the same verb.


    A compound predicate, or compound verb, is the happy issue of two or
    more verbs that are joined by and, or, but, yet, or nor, and that
    belong to the same subject.
    Descriptive adjectives describe a noun or pronoun, stating what kind
    of person, place, or thing either one is:
    blue blood, bashful poltergeist, portable landscape, inept marauders,
    innocent onlooker, Turkish wolfhound, mad tea party, sugar-coated
    speech, Italian sports car, Renaissance man, injured appendage,
    Shakespearean sonnet, suffering soul, wrong track

    Limiting adjectives take several different forms: possessive,
    demonstrative, indefinite, interrogative, and numerical. Definite and
    indefinite articles can also be limiting adjectives.

    greed, your delusions
