Name the words!

You now know that English sentences have at least a subject and a verb. In exercise
1 you’ve learnt that it could also contain an object. In exercise 3 we’ve added place 
and time. We can abbreviate those like this:
S Subject, V Verb, O object, P place, T time
Let’s test what you’ve learnt so far. Look at the example and do the same with the 
sentences you’ve constructed in exercise 3. Write S V O P T above every sentence.
