Who acts: someone, last real number, one · What happens: correct, like, be, count · To what, where: things, million people, one · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Which number counts? Hyperbole and real numbers in maths» 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 (someone, last real number, one), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
