Feelings and calming down, sentence 22

When parents say they are going through a rough patch, they mean they are not getting on well; it is not the child's fault, and it is all right to feel sad and to tell a trusted adult.

Who acts: parents, patch · What happens: say, go, mean, not get on, not be, be · To what, where: rough patch, fault, trusted adult · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Feelings and calming down» 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 (parents, patch), 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): R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×2. 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.
