In English, we usually put sentences together in a specific way to make sure others can understand us easily. Imagine your sentence as a little story.

Subject (S): This is who or what the story is about. It's like the main character. For example, "Mary" or "The cat."

Verb (V): This is the action or what the main character is doing. It's the exciting part of the story. For example, "eats" or "is chasing."

Object (O): This is the one or the thing that the action is happening to. It's like the sidekick in the story. For example, "an apple" or "a mouse."

So, when you tell your English story, put the Subject, then the Verb, and finally the Object. Like "Mary eats an apple" or "The cat is chasing a mouse." This helps make your sentences clear and easy to follow!
