Asked by Emma

Look for the compound verbs in the sentence below;

Lacrosse looks like an easy sport to play but it is really quite difficult.


The two compound verbs I found were "looks" and "is".


Answered by Ms. Sue
This sentence does not have a compound verb. Each of those verbs has a different subject, making this a compound SENTENCE.

Lacrosse looks

it is

Answered by Emma
So what you mean is that there are no compound words in this sentence? And I should choose Lacrosse and looks?
Answered by Ms. Sue

"Lacrosse looks" is a subject and verb.

Answered by Emma
Then if there are no compound verbs in that sentence then which choice do you think it would "make sense" to choose?

A. lacrosse, looks
B. look, is
C. lacrosse, sport
D. looks difficult
Answered by Ms. Sue
None of them. This question has a mistake.

Please ask your teacher about this question. Point out that a compound verb must have only one subject. Yet each verb in this sentence has a different subject.
