the structure of the sentence?

For them, 12 of their 30-day months made a year.
Is it correct that the structure of the sentence is 'Subject + Verb + (Pro)noun + Adverbial'?
Thanks in advance.

I think that you had better tell us precisely which words you consider to be the subject, verb, pronoun and adverbial.

Thanks, Mister Micawber.
Subject = 12 of their 30-day months
Verb = made
Noun = a year
Adverbial = For them

Ah I see. Well, it depends on how your teacher defines some of those terms. Your analysis is fine, but I would do this:

12 = simple subject
12 of their 30-day months = complete subject
made = simple verb
year = direct object
for them = adverbial
