English sentences follow this pattern:

Subject → Verb → Object → Manner → Place → Time

SVOMPT is the standard word order for every sentence that expresses a clear and correct idea. 

Subject, Verb, Object, Manner, Place, and Time. The subject is your main element—the person or thing doing the work. The verb is what they’re actually doing. Then you’ve got the object, which is whatever receives that action. After that, manner tells us how it happened, place tells us where, and time tells us when.
