And watch what the clause is attached to: in «The cat sat on the mat that was black», it is the mat that was black, not the cat.

This is a sentence of the lesson «Relative clauses» of the english 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 (you, cat, mat), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
