Ancient times and famous stories, sentence 5

When a mate says "everyone knows", ask "what did they dig up?" and "who first told it?"; and if they turn out to be half right, say so.

Who acts: mate, everyone, you, frogs · What happens: say, know, ask, dig up, tell, turn out · To what, where: mate · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Ancient times and famous stories» 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 (mate, everyone, you, frogs), 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): R2-punct-next ×1, R7-rel-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.
