From a syntactic point of view, any English sentence, whatever long it may be, can be divided to the following categories:

Subject
Verb
Subject Compliment
Object Compliment
Adverbial



Hi,
Didn't your teacher divide these categories any further into different kinds of subjects, verbs, objects, complEments and adverbials? What did he do with sentences such as 'We are having our house redecorated'?.
