Heat moves: hot to cold, sentence 3
Your skin does not measure temperature; it feels how fast heat leaves it, so a metal bench feels colder than a wooden one on the same frosty morning, though both are equally cold.
Who acts: skin, it, heat, metal bench, both · What happens: not measure, feel, leave, be · To what, where: temperature
This is a sentence of the lesson «Heat moves: hot to cold» of the physics 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 (skin, it, heat, metal bench), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
