Earth from space, sentence 15
The Earth goes round the Sun once a year and spins once a day, which makes the Sun seem to move across the sky; Copernicus and Galileo argued for this centuries ago.
Who acts: Earth, Sun, Copernicus · What happens: go, spin, make, seem, move, argue · To what, where: Sun, sky
This is a sentence of the lesson «Earth from space» of the myths 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 (Earth, Sun, Copernicus), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R3-conj-first ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
