Not as good as Dave's but I thought I'd share:
var adjective = prompt("Please type an adjective");
var noun = prompt("Please type a noun");
var verb = prompt("Please type a verb");
var sentence = document.write("There was once an " + adjective + " " + noun + " " + "who wanted to " + verb + " Antarctica.");
Any room for improvement?

var sentence = document.write("There was once an "
+ adjective + " "
+ noun
+ " "
+ "who wanted to "
+ verb
+ " Antarctica.");
This means nothing to the JavaScript interpreter in your browser but can make your code easier to read. The browser ignores all empty spaces in your code.
Well done so far :)

let sentence = document.write(`There was once an ${adjective} ${noun} who wanted to ${verb} Antarctica.`);
You can read about them at the MDN docs.
