Vincent; There are so many combinations, that I don't know which you mean. " "Sliding" is moving by the force of gravity, and I don't think this verb applies here. then you have an adverbial prepositional phrase.

- the prepositions are: through / into / to the objects depend on the choice of the proposition, but "door house" does not make any sense.
- You should study these prepositions individually (there are many threads in the forum discussing the differences).

Vincent;
There are so many combinations, that I don't know which you mean.
Subject - she
verb - saw
object - a cobra
present participle (modifying "cobra") - this can be "gliding," "slithering" or "slinking." "Sliding" is moving by the force of gravity, and I don't think this verb applies here.
then you have an adverbial prepositional phrase.
