It is great to see how clearly English sentences can be broken down once you know the SVOMPT (Subject, Verb, Object, Manner, Place, Time) rule. This structure is a powerful tool for ensuring your sentences are always grammatically sound and easy to understand.
Here is the breakdown of the sentences you provided, organized into the Sentence Structure Table:

When you share this in the class discussion forum, you might consider adding these observations to help your classmates:
The "Why": Notice that not every sentence needs an Object, Manner, or Place to be complete; only the Subject and Verb are truly essential.
Word Order: Point out how the Time "in the mornings" naturally falls at the very end of the sentence, following the standard SVOMPT pattern.
Place vs. Time: If a sentence had both a location and a time (e.g., "They work at the office in the mornings"), the Place ("at the office") would always come before the Time. Time.
