Order of the words in a sentence

Could you check whether the order of the words in the following sentence is right? Also, I'd like to know whether I can exchange the order of (A), (B), (C) and (D) freely in the sentence.

I go [ (A) to school ] [ (B) with my friend ] [ (C) at eight thirty ] [ (D) on Mondays ].

Not completely freely, no. g. "I go at eight thirty to school on Mondays with my friend", don't sound good.

  • Not completely freely, no.
  • g.
  • "I go at eight thirty to school on Mondays with my friend", don't sound good.
  • Your order is fine.
  • Some valid variant orders are not covered by your permutation as they involve putting C and/or D before "I go".
