In texts many people drop question marks; without one a message like "can u come over" can look flat or bossy.
Who acts: many people, u, message · What happens: drop, come over, look · To what, where: question marks, texts, message
This is a sentence of the lesson «Kinds of sentences: statements, questions, commands, exclamations» 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 (many people, u, message), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
