Homophones: words that sound the same, sentence 4

The trick for spelling is to think about meaning first, and to use little memory hooks, like "you hear with your ear, so heard has ear in it".

Who acts: trick, you · What happens: be, use, hear, have · To what, where: little memory hooks, ear, spelling · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Homophones: words that sound the same» of the language 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 (trick, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
