Fights, racism and being a bystander, sentence 17

Telling an adult when someone hurts you is not "grassing"; a grass, in UK slang, tells on people to get them in trouble, but telling to stay safe is different.

Who acts: someone, Telling, grass · What happens: tell, hurt, not be, get, stay, be · To what, where: adult, you, people, trouble · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Fights, racism and being a bystander» of the reflection 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 (someone, Telling, grass), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

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): R5-strong ×1, R7-rel-agree ×2. 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.
