The air we breathe, sentence 11
High on a mountain the air is thinner, so each breath holds less oxygen; climbers on the highest mountains often carry oxygen tanks.
Who acts: air, breath, climbers · What happens: be, hold, carry · To what, where: less oxygen, oxygen tanks
This is a sentence of the lesson «The air we breathe» 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 (air, breath, climbers), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
