Writing

In an English sentence, words are placed in a certain order. A positive sentence usually has:
Subject (who) 
Verb (does)
Object (what)
Place (where) 
Time (when).

A sentence does not always have all the elements.

Example: Jack does his homework at school tomorrow.

Put the following items into the correct order:

study / at my house / Jason and Jack / next week.

Extra information! (1)

Adverbials of place are added to a sentence to explain where something is taking place. In most cases, this part of the sentence is placed after the object or after the main verb.

Example: I like having PE outside.

Extra information (2)

Adverbials of time are added to a sentence to explain when something is taking place. In most cases, this part of the sentence is placed after the object or after the main verb.

Example: We will study tonight.

In most cases place comes before time.
