Kinds of sentences: statements, questions, commands, exclamations, sentence 7
A question asks for information and ends with a question mark.
Who acts: question · What happens: ask, end
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 (question), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
