When it was my fault: owning up and making it right, sentence 0
Sometimes the bad thing really was partly your fault, and the honest job is to own your part without drowning in it: not "it's nothing to do with me" and not "I'm a horrible person", but "I did this, and here is how I'll put it right".
Who acts: bad thing, honest job, thing, I · What happens: be, drown, not be, do · To what, where: fault, job, nothing, horrible person, this
This is a sentence of the lesson «When it was my fault: owning up and making it right» 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 (bad thing, honest job, thing, I), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
