Worry and sadness, sentence 1

Worries shrink when they leave your head: writing them down, telling a parent, or asking yourself «how likely is this really, and what could I do if it happened?» all help the brain let go.

Who acts: Worries, things, this, it, brain · What happens: shrink, leave, write down, tell, ask, be · To what, where: head, things, parent, yourself · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Worry and sadness» 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 (Worries, things, this, it), 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.
