Growing, seeing and hearing, sentence 18

Never push anything like a pencil or hairgrip into your ear; it can hurt the eardrum, the thin skin deep inside the ear that lets you hear, so tell an adult if something is stuck.

Who acts: you, damage, thin skin, something · What happens: not push, hurt, let, hear, tell, be · To what, where: anything, ear, eardrum, you, adult · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Growing, seeing and hearing» 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 (you, damage, thin skin, something), 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): R3-conj-first ×1, R5-strong ×1, R7-rel-agree ×2. 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.
