Prices, change, borrowing and lending, sentence 0
Before you pay, you round each price and add them in your head, so you know whether you have enough before you reach the till; a price like $4.99 is almost $5, not $4.
Who acts: you · What happens: pay, round, add, know, have, reach · To what, where: price, them, head, till · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Prices, change, borrowing and lending» 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), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
