Home myths, first aid and weather warnings, sentence 1

A good habit is to ask «how would this really work?»: germs are on the floor already, so they get onto dropped food at once, and smoke goes wherever air goes, so only a closed door slows it down.

Who acts: good habit, this, germs, smoke, air, closed door · What happens: be, work, get, drop, go, close · To what, where: floor, dropped food, air · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Home myths, first aid and weather warnings» of the everyday 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 (good habit, this, germs, smoke), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
