Fuels, the Sun and saving energy, sentence 1

A fire needs three things, fuel, oxygen and heat, and taking away any one puts it out, which is how a fire blanket works: it keeps the oxygen away.

Who acts: fire, taking, blanket · What happens: need, take away, put out, be, keep away · To what, where: three things, one, fire, oxygen

This is a sentence of the lesson «Fuels, the Sun and saving energy» 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 (fire, taking, blanket), 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): R6-punct-agree ×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.
