Park trees: telling oaks, maples, chestnuts, birches, limes and willows apart, sentence 0
Trees in a park are like people in a crowd: once you know a few clues — the shape of the face, the clothes, the voice — you can tell them apart even from far away.
Who acts: Trees, you · What happens: be, know, tell · To what, where: crowd, few clues, clues · Speech: someone speaks here
