Elections and voting: ballots, counting and winning, sentence 1

On election day an ordinary place, maybe the hall where you do PE, becomes a polling station: a voter's name is checked on a list, they mark a paper in a private booth, fold it and drop it into a sealed box.

Who acts: you, ordinary place, polling station, votes, voter · What happens: do, become, check, mark, fold, drop · To what, where: PE, polling station, name, list, paper, private booth

This is a sentence of the lesson «Elections and voting: ballots, counting and winning» of the politics 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 (you, ordinary place, polling station, votes), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
