What is everything made of?, sentence 18
When ice melts, the same water molecules (a molecule = a small group of atoms joined together) are there before and after; melted ice weighs the same as the ice did.
Who acts: ice, same water molecules, melted ice · What happens: melt, join, be, weigh · To what, where: atoms, same
This is a sentence of the lesson «What is everything made of?» of the chemistry course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (ice, same water molecules, melted ice), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
