Home alone, the door and the phone, sentence 0

When a child is old enough to stay home alone for a short time, the family agrees on clear rules first: who may come in, what you may use, and how to reach a parent.

Who acts: child, family, you · What happens: be, stay, agree, come in, use, reach · To what, where: parent

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): no change. 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.
