Who acts: Evaporation, fastest particles · What happens: happen, escape · To what, where: surface
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 (Evaporation, fastest particles), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
