Checking practice: true, false and not sure yet, sentence 12

A kind private message such as "I think this one is old, here's where I checked" works better than laughing at someone in the group.

Who acts: I, one, kind private message · What happens: think, be, check, work, laugh · To what, where: someone · Speech: someone speaks here

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.
