Seat belts, crashes and keeping safe, sentence 10
A car's front crumple zone squashes in a crash and makes the stop take a little longer, so the force on the people is smaller, while the strong cabin keeps its shape.
Who acts: front crumple zone, stop, force, strong cabin · What happens: squash, make, take, be, keep · To what, where: crash, stop, shape
This is a sentence of the lesson «Seat belts, crashes and keeping safe» 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 (front crumple zone, stop, force, strong cabin), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
