 Sentences Analizer Class
 From http://www.writingcentre.uottawa.ca/hypergrammar/sntpurps.html

 Take a POS input and analyse it for
  - Type of Sentense
     - Interrogative
       - Tag Questions
       - 
     - Declarative
     - Exclamatory 
     - Imperative

  - Parts of a Sentense
     - Subject
     - Predicate

  - Show Preposition Phrases
