Is this a compound sentence? 'John and Hary sang well.'
This sentence can be resolved into two independent clauses: John sang well, and Hary sang well.
Wren and Martin grammar says that if a sentence with compound subject can be resolved into two independent clauses, it's a compound sentence. But I'm confused. Please clarify how to distinguish between simple and compound sentences when compound subjects or compound verbs have been used.
