Solving disagreements calmly, sentence 2
Then use words, not hands: say how you feel with an «I» sentence («I feel upset when you take my pens without asking»), and then listen to the other side without interrupting.
Who acts: you, I · What happens: use, say, feel, take, ask, listen · To what, where: words, pens · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Solving disagreements calmly» 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, I), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
