Adding words to sentences

After a lot of brainstorming, I have come up with a game plan to finish the last part of the anagrams assignment, but it requires making sentences larger or adding words onto the end of a sentence. This is my problem:

def addWord(s: Sentence, w: Word): Sentence = {

s ++ w // <- this is recognized as a List[Any], not Sentence, even though it would follow to be a List[Word]

}

I have tried setting it to variables and the like, but it ultimately comes down to a type mismatch found: List[Any] expected: Sentence

How do I make the compiler see that it is a sentence, not just a List[Any]?
