Questions and simple sentences, sentence 3
Picture a beach in Brittany: you point at a crab and ask "Qu'est-ce que c'est ?", a French kid says "C'est un crabe !", and then "Tu as quel âge ?" - "J'ai dix ans, et toi ?"
Who acts: you, French kid · What happens: picture, point, ask, say · To what, where: beach, Brittany · 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 (you, French kid), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
