Pushes and pulls all around us, sentence 4

Where you push matters too: a door opens easily when you push near the handle, far from the hinges, and hardly at all near them.

Who acts: you, door · What happens: push, matter, open · To what, where: all, handle

This is a sentence of the lesson «Pushes and pulls all around us» of the physics course of Mova's primary school.

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): no change. 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.
