Sharp things, small objects and little ones, sentence 17

When a sibling takes your toys, use words, take turns or ask a grown-up, because hitting does not solve the problem.

Who acts: sibling, you, hitting · What happens: take, use, ask, not solve · To what, where: toys, words, turns, grown, problem

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×5, R6-punct-agree ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
