Cuts, grazes, stitches and splinters, sentence 12
Tetanus germs live in soil and can get into deep or dirty wounds; the danger is the dirt, not the rust, and a tetanus jab protects you, so nurses ask whether you have had one.
Who acts: Tetanus germs, danger, tetanus jab, nurses, you · What happens: live, get, be, protect, ask, have · To what, where: soil, deep wounds, dirt, you, one · Speech: someone speaks here
