I would suggest reading about Conceptual Graphs, and then modeling your 
RDF structures after a conceptual graph for the sentence.

See

http://www.jfsowa.com/cg

Your example sentence might be modeled something like this -

{[Tom] -> (agent)
[book] ->(subject]
[Mike] ->(source)
[yesterday] -> (point in time) } -> [borrow]
