Rockets, record speeds and motion everywhere, sentence 14
The Earth also spins, and the ground near the equator spins round fastest, so a rocket launched there gets a free sideways start.
Who acts: Earth, ground, rocket · What happens: spin, spin round, launch, get · To what, where: rocket, free sideways start
This is a sentence of the lesson «Rockets, record speeds and motion everywhere» 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 (Earth, ground, rocket), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
