Forgiving, sentence 37

And in Kirsty's family in Aberdeen the rule was: «Tell the truth straight away — half the trouble.» Her brother broke a lamp, told Mum at once, and only had to help clean up.

Who acts: rule, brother, Mum · What happens: be, break, tell, have, help, clean up · To what, where: family, lamp · Speech: someone speaks here

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): R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-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.
