I was wondering if someone could check this and if it seems correct the paragraph below is what is used and following below that is my answers to the specific words they've asked what part of speech they are..

Romana familia in magna patria habitat. Pater et mater bonam fortunam et vitam habent. Ubi mater cenam coquit, Maria? In culina cibum coquit. Frater sororem prope fontem videt. Sunt multae rosae prope fontem. Quando filia domum (home) ambulat, Marce? Ego nescio (do not know). Said hodie libros de (about) Romana familia studere potes.

For the first 6 questions these are the options which are only used once noun, adjective, verb,
Adverb, conjunction or preposition

In the first sentence magna, would be an adjective

In the second sentence et, would be a conjunction and vitam would be a
Noun

In the third sentence ubi would be an adverb

In the sixth sentence sunt is a verb and prope a preposition


Then for the following 7 these will also only be used once subject,
Predicate noun, direct address, object of preposition, direct object,
Modifier, or verb

In sentence one patria would be the object of preposition

In sentence two mater would be a predicate noun

In sentence three cenam would be a direct object

In sentence six multae would be a modifier and rosae is the subject

In sentence seven Marce is a direct address

And in sentence nine potes is a verb

I agree with all except:

In sentence two mater would be a subject. "Father and Mother have...."
