Crossing the road, sentence 10

You walk straight across the road, never run, because running makes you more likely to trip and fall, and never cross diagonally, on a slant, which keeps you in the road longer.

Who acts: You, slant · What happens: walk, not run, run, make, trip, fall · To what, where: road, you, slant

This is a sentence of the lesson «Crossing the road» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school.

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): R5-strong ×1, 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.
