How to Participate in the Discussion:

  1. Post your answer in the forum with your own SVOPMT breakdown.

  2. Compare with classmates—did they categorize words the same way?

  3. Give feedback (e.g., "I think 'quietly' is Manner, not Place—what do you think?").

  4. Ask questions if someone’s table seems different (e.g., "Why did you mark 'after school' as Time instead of Place?").

Example Discussion Reply:

"I agree with your SVO parts, but should ‘with their friends’ be Manner (how they played) or Object (who they played with)?"
