In a car park, hold an adult's hand and walk along the side, not behind cars; white lights at the back of a car mean it is about to reverse.

Who acts: you, white lights, it · What happens: hold, walk, mean, be, reverse · To what, where: hand, car park, cars · 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): no change. 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.
