Let's review some of the parts of speech:

A verb is a word that shows an action, a state, or an occurrence.
Select the answer that combines the two sentences below into one sentence:
Megan likes pizza.
Joe likes pizza.
Megan and Joe like pizza.
Megan and Joe likes pizzas.
Megan likes pizza Joe likes pizza.
When you write, you can sometimes combine two short sentences together to make one, longer sentence. A complete sentence will have a subject and a predicate. The subject tells the reader who or what is doing something. The predicate tells what the subject is doing. When two sentences have the same predicate, you can combine them. Use the word "and" to join the subjects.
To combine these types of sentences, you join the two subjects with the word "and". Then, add the predicate. The new sentence talks about two subjects, so we need to use the plural verb "like".
Megan and Joe like pizza.
