comprisebe composed of
To comprise is to make up or form. John, Paul, George, and Ringo comprise the Beatles, and the periodic table is comprised of 118 elements.
Comprise is a term for describing what something includes or contains. It does not work, however, in the active sense. While you can include your friends in your holiday plans, you can't comprise them. However, when describing who tagged along on the ski trip, you can say that the chalet's cozy bedrooms comprised a who's-who of your favorite people.

    Compose is to make up a whole, and comprise is to contain parts.  Poodles compose the dog class because the class comprises poodles. The parts compose the  whole, and the whole comprises the  parts. Confused? Everybody else is!
    Compose means to make up a whole (it also means to create, but that's not the  definition that troubles people). Mention the parts first, then the whole, as  in "four rooms compose our small  house."The whole can be first if you  say composedof, as in "our house is composed  of four rooms." Check it out:

Fresh pītal flowers composed the royal throne, Golden blossoms raised the state umbrella. (Vidyapati Thakura)
      The nest is composed of dry  grass and lined with finer fibres. (Rev.  C.A. Johns)
    
    Comprise means made up of, contain, include. When you use comprise, mention the whole thing first,  then the parts, as in "the house comprises four rooms." It doesn't need an of after it. (That's the other word.) Here are some examples of the  whole comprising the parts:

The stories comprised in this volume deserve to be widely known and appreciated. (Williams Andrews)
      "Earth" comprises clay, mud, ochre, marl, and "peculiar earths generally." (Georgius Agricola)  
      The Penn State  police force comprises 46 armed officers. (Slate)

Often comprise shows up in the phrase composed of, but really, comprise does not like of to follow it around. Usage maven Bryan Garner points out that  this error is at stage 4 of his language  change index ;  many are mixing up the words so much that the language is changing, but it  hasn't changed yet. Remember that those fluffy poodles compose the dog  class because the class comprises eager pups. Woof.
