Solids, liquids and gases, sentence 3
In a gas like the air in a balloon the particles fly about far apart, so a gas fills any space and can be squashed.
Who acts: particles, gas · What happens: fly, fill, squash · To what, where: gas, space
This is a sentence of the lesson «Solids, liquids and gases» 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 (particles, gas), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
