Home alone, the door and the phone, sentence 19

If you smell gas, you leave the house without switching anything on or off, because a tiny spark from a switch could set the gas alight, and call for help from outside.

Who acts: you, tiny spark · What happens: smell, leave, switch, set, call · To what, where: gas, house, anything · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Home alone, the door and the phone» 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, tiny spark), 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): 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.
