#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>


int main()
{
srand((unsigned)time(NULL));
char *article[5] = {"the", "one", "a", "some", "any"};
char *noun[5] = {"boy", "girl", "dog", "town", "car"};
char *verb[5] = {"drove", "jumped", "walked", "ran", "skipped"};
char *preposition[5] = {"to", "from", "over", "under", "on"};
int counter;

for(counter = 0; counter < 20; counter++)
printf("%s %s %s %s %s %s. ", article[rand()% 5], noun[rand()% 5], verb[rand()% 5], preposition[rand()% 5], article[rand()% 5], noun[rand()% 5]);

return 0;
