What a bank does with your money and why banks lend, sentence 6
A business loan helps a business start or grow; it is paid back bit by bit, and because of interest the total paid back is more than was borrowed, like £12,000 back on a £10,000 loan.
Who acts: business loan, bit, total · What happens: help, start, grow, pay back, be, borrow · To what, where: loan, £ loan
This is a sentence of the lesson «What a bank does with your money and why banks lend» 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 (business loan, bit, total), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
