The 25-year-old man in the park is trying to fly a kite.
This sentence pattern uses two "phrases", first a "long noun" and then a "long verb", to communicate a simple idea with several details. In the Model Sentence above, the first part (the long noun) shows us that it is a rather young man and where he is. The second part (the long verb) shows us what he is doing and that he is "trying" but maybe not succeeding!
Pronunciation Practice - Repeat each sentence out loud!
