Both are correct. Consider:
A. All the players came to the sports field at 7:30 and then began the game.
In this case, players is the subject, and came and began are the verbs.
B. All the players came to the sports field at 7:30, and then the game began.
In this case, you have a compound sentence. Players is the subject and came is the verb of the first part; game is the subject and began is the verb of the second part. |
