Re: quick question: label for text input in the middle of a sentence

Hello,
Do the whole sentence, especially if the screen reader user can just hit
tab to get to the next blank.
That way the screen reader user does not need to hit any other buttons
other than tab to move to the next sentence.
Thanks,
