Note: Although it seems acceptable if we apply the same rule here, it is better to use 'Time' between 'Subject' and 'Object' (When the verb is 'Touch'). Like what you see in sentence number 10. I have followed the general rule, you may change it.

Please translate the following sentences into Persian.
Note 1: Just follow the rule: subject + object + time + place + verb. If any of these items is absent, simply skip over it to reach the next one. For example: in ' I was at home yesterday', we have this rule: subject + time + place + verb. Is it clear?
Note 2: Please note that for 'The + noun' in English, we have only 'noun' in Persian. For example: The door = /dær/.
Note 3: Please do your best to do it all first. Then, if you want to be sure, look for the answer at the bottom of this page. No cheating!!
