Test 6 · Remembering details

You are asked what shoes a person wore, but you did not see them. What should you say?

Mova's choice: option 1 · The right answer: option 3 · wrong ✗ · Who acts: shoes, you · What happens: ask, wear, not see, say · To what, where: You, shoes · Speech: someone speaks here

This is test 6 of lesson 18 «Remembering details» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school. The page gives the question's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause, then the 4 options as the student saw them, each with its tree and pragmatics. Every text is parsed by Mova itself. How the student answered it, with the score of every option and why: the test at school.
