for example I have to find significant part of sentence and analyse it.

1) he's used to walking long distances
my answer: subject+am/is/are+used to+ ???

2) She has her bike fixed (by her friend)
my answer: subject+have+i have no idea?

3) She shouldn't have run (away)
my aswer: Subject + ...???

4) The hedges need to be cut
my answer: Subject + need + ..???+ past participle

@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

She / has fixed / bike

3) She shouldn't have run (away)

@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.
