Facing fears, sentence 9
In a thunderstorm, stay indoors away from windows; counting the seconds between the flash and the bang shows how far away the storm is: the longer the gap, the further away it is, so a growing gap means it is moving away.
Who acts: you, bang, storm, growing gap, gap · What happens: stay, count, show, be, grow, mean · To what, where: thunderstorm, gap · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Facing fears» 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, bang, storm, growing gap), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
