DD: For this late joiner, retired Latin teacher, please elucidate. I 
count 9 parts of speech, the usual 8 in Latin plus the article. 
{Noun, pronoun, adjective, adverb, verb, interjection, conjunction, 
preposition + article} The roles I think follow such things as 
Subject (nominative), Objects (Sometimes accusative, dative or 
occasionally something else.), verbal, modifiers, link words, but I 
am not all that sure of the official paradigm for the rest of the 
roles. Sentence types seem to me to be interrogative, declarative, 
imperative, then I am lost. { Simple, Compound, Complex?} A little 
help on this would be appreciated.
