Clause, parts of speech & phrase based explanation

Dear Mentors,

I am a newbie in this forum. I don't know that i am writing about any old post that has been answered or my writing is about a new topic. We used to read newspaper, books, magazine. Those were written in complex sentences with clauses, complements & many phrases. There is no lesson or tutorial i ever found in any site where every parts of speech is explained to make sentence understandable to readers but i think it is very convenient for learners. Example:

Following the gaming session, every applicant is encouraged to record a 30-minute video of oneself answering questions coming from a computer generated figure.

following(gerund) the gaming session(noun phrase); every applicant (subject) is encouraged (passive verb) to record (infinitive) ; a 30 minute video of oneself (object); answering questions (reduction of adjective clause) ; coming from a computer generated figure (reduced adjective clause).


My question is, Is there any parts of speech, phrase & clause based explanation/tutorial/ebook for understanding any write up, news or other paragraph so that we can find each piece of words & sentence structure like above example that you can recommend. I wish success of this forum.


Thanks

ZAHIR

I am sure that most grammar books would cover lexical analysis. There are exercises in diagramming sentences which define a tree-like structure with the main clause, subordinate clauses, phrases and then words. Functions and parts of speech are assigned at the appropriate level.
