Hello Linear, "They denied living in Jakarta" The sentence is correct, but you gave the components partly wrong names. " They " is the subject; that is correct. "denied" is the predicate and it is a verb in the past simple tense. "living in Jakarta" is the object. "living" is not a verb ,it is a verbal noun. A verbal noun is a noun formed from a verb; in this example by adding "ing" to the verb * to live* .

Here is some more information about sentence construction for you. A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. Here are some examples: Sentence: Jack ran. Sentence: Jill ran. Sentence: Jack and Jill were late. Sentence: Jack and Jill ran up the hill to go to university and to fetch a pail of water on the way back. As you might have noticed, a sentence can be short or long or anything in between, but it has to fulfil the following requirements. 1. It has to have a subject (noun or pronoun). This is usually the person, thing or concept that does the action in the sentence and is called the actor. It tells who or what the sentence is about. Example: Jack ran. Jill ran. Jack and Jill ran. The hill is steep. The well has good water. Running is good for you. 2. It has to have a predicate (verb or verb phrase). This is usually the action that the actor does. It describes what the subject is or is doing. Example: Jack ran. Jill ran. Jill is taller than Jack. The words "ran" and "is" are the verbs because they tell us what Jack and Jill are up to.
