Grammar books seem to have a way of making easy things difficult. The meaning is in the name. For example an adjective and an adjective clause both describe a noun. If you have a dictionary there will be examples of each of the examples you are looking for in the "grammar" section. A sentence has a subject, a verb and in most cases an object. All the rest is window dressing.

Another thing you can do is Google one of the above and I'm sure it will lead you to a page with examples of all the rest.
