Electric cars and charging, sentence 4

Batteries hold a lot of energy, so the rules are simple: don't play with charging cables, and tell an adult about any battery that is damaged, hot or smells.

Who acts: Batteries, rules · What happens: hold, be, not play, tell, damage · To what, where: lot, adult, battery · Speech: someone speaks here

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.
