You want to do it when there a number of fields to fill out and a more naturally flowing sentence. Also, you shouldn't use text fields and the spacing is really close, making for difficult reading. The main issue here though, is this is a 2 field form. The madlibs is decidedly for a much longer form. This was not a well thought out test.
