Unit prices and sales that are not really sales, sentence 3
Watch for shrinkflation, when a bar shrinks from 200 g to 180 g at the same £2, and remember that a picture on a box is an advert, while the ingredients list tells the truth.
Who acts: you, bar, picture, ingredients list · What happens: watch, shrink, remember, be, tell · To what, where: advert, truth · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Unit prices and sales that are not really sales» of the money 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, bar, picture, ingredients list), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
