Debt, loans, credit cards and interest, sentence 3
Some debt helps, like a mortgage that gives a family a home; some debt traps people, like a credit card that is never paid off or a loan from a dodgy website that doubles what you owe.
Who acts: debt, mortgage, dodgy website, you · What happens: help, give, trap, not pay off, double, owe · To what, where: home, family, people, credit card, dodgy website
This is a sentence of the lesson «Debt, loans, credit cards and interest» 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 (debt, mortgage, dodgy website, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
