Vowel teams, split digraphs and choosing the spelling, sentence 9
At the start of «yes» it is a consonant; in «my» it says /ie/ and in «happy» it says /ee/, so there it works as a vowel.
Who acts: y · What happens: be, say, work, start · To what, where: consonant, start, ie, ee, « · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Vowel teams, split digraphs and choosing the spelling» 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 (y), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
