Questions and simple sentences, sentence 15
People in Quebec speak French but are Canadian, so Tu viens d'où ? (Where are you from?) is safer than guessing.
Who acts: People, you · What happens: speak, be, guess · To what, where: French · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Questions and simple sentences» of the french 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 (People, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

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.
