Answer 16

I mean this:

Let's build a roaring fire downstairs in the family room.

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm Let's }\) - a contraction
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm build }\) - action verb
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm a }\) - article (used twice)
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm roaring }\) - adjective
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm fire}\) - noun (direct object).
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm downstairs }\) - adverb
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm in }\) - a preposition
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm family }\) - noun (that is used as an adjective)
\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm room }\) - noun.

Answer 17

that is a least you should get, and then label the:
~ subject
~ indirect object
and on....
