Here’s how the sentences break down using the SVOMPT pattern (Subject–Verb–Object–Manner–Place–Time):
Sentence Structure Table
| Subject (Who) | Verb (does) | Object (what) | Manner (how) | Place (where) | Time (when) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Robert | lives | — | — | in an apartment | — |
| He | loves | his job | — | — | — |
| His wife | teaches | college courses | — | — | — |
| They | work | — | — | — | in the mornings |
Some sentences don’t include all parts (like object, manner, place, or time), which is normal.
“Lives” and “work” don’t need an object in these cases.
“In an apartment” = place, and “in the mornings” = time.
