@ZidanZ,

2) She has her bike fixed by her friend
Subject/ present tense simple of have/possessive pronoun/noun/past tense simple/preposition/possesive pronoun/noun
has fixed = present perfect simple

Rest you can do yourself

@ZidanZ,

You analyse a sentence by considering its meaning. Or possible meanings.

The significant part of that sentence is "long". It tells you something about "he".
That he's an idiot.
