Where did you read that? Checking sources, sentence 1
Every fact comes from somewhere, and a good checker asks four questions: Who says it?
Who acts: fact, good checker, four questions · What happens: come, ask, say · To what, where: four questions, checker · Speech: someone speaks here
This is a sentence of the lesson «Where did you read that? Checking sources» 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 (fact, good checker, four questions), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
