Living well because life is short, sentence 1

Let's go to the seaside this weekend, like Grandad always wanted»: a death often reminds people that life does not last for ever, and makes them want to spend it on what matters.

Who acts: you, 's, Grandad, death, life, people · What happens: let, go, want, remind, not last, make · To what, where: 's, seaside, people, life · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Living well because life is short» of the religion ethics 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, 's, Grandad, death), 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 ×2, R8-pos-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.
