Let us recall the +Usual Order+ of words and phrases in a simple declarative sentence.

The verb follows the subject, and the object complement follows the verb.

+Example+.—Drake circumnavigated the globe.

+Direction+.—Observing this order, write three sentences each with an object complement.

An adjective or a possessive modifier precedes its noun, and an explanatory modifier follows it.

+Examples+.—Man's life is a brief span. Moses, the lawgiver, came down from the Mount.

+Direction+.—Observing this order, write four sentences, two with possessive modifiers and two with explanatory, each sentence containing an adjective.

The attribute complement, whether noun or adjective, follows the verb, the objective complement follows the object complement, and the indirect object precedes the direct.

+Examples+.—Egypt is the valley of the Nile. Eastern life is dreamy.
They made Bonaparte consul. They offered Caesar a crown.

+Direction+.—Observing this order, write four sentences illustrating the positions of the noun and of the adjective when they perform these offices.
