Strangers and tricky people, sentence 1
The big rule: never go anywhere with anyone, never get into a car and never take a gift, without checking first with your parent or carer; the point is that the adult who looks after you always knows where you are and who you are with.
Who acts: adult, you · What happens: not go, not get, not take, check, be, look after · To what, where: car, gift, point, you
This is a sentence of the lesson «Strangers and tricky people» 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 (adult, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
