Greeting neighbours and new people, sentence 3

A ball over the fence is a small test of manners: you do not climb into the garden, which is trespassing, but knock, say sorry and ask politely.

Who acts: ball, you, garden · What happens: be, not climb, trespass, knock, say, ask · To what, where: small test, garden, sorry · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Greeting neighbours and new people» 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 (ball, you, garden), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

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): R1-cc-next ×1, R2-punct-next ×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.
