The library and books, sentence 3

To check whether a book is right for you, read the first page: if there are more than about five words you do not know, it may be too hard for now, and if you stop enjoying a book after a few chapters, you can choose another.

Who acts: book, you · What happens: check, be, read, not know, stop, enjoy · To what, where: first page, five words, book, another

This is a sentence of the lesson «The library and books» 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 (book, you), 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): R7-rel-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.
