I would first point you to "Describing Morphosyntax" by Thomas E.
Payne. It talks about all sorts of areas of grammar and how various
languages (including non-IE ones!) handle the topic.

If you just want different sentences to translate, then I might direct
you to the new page I'm beginning to compile at

HTH. Good luck!
