Melting, freezing, boiling and condensing, sentence 2
On a hot day an ice lolly drips because the warm air gives the ice heat; a cold can "sweats" because water vapour from the air turns back into drops on the cold metal.
Who acts: ice lolly, warm air, water vapour · What happens: drip, give, turn back · To what, where: ice heat, drops
This is a sentence of the lesson «Melting, freezing, boiling and condensing» 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 lolly, warm air, water vapour), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
