Power stations and the grid, sentence 9
In a gas power station, burning gas spins a gas turbine like a jet engine, and the hot exhaust also makes steam for a second turbine; gas stations can start up quickly when demand jumps.
Who acts: burning gas, hot exhaust, gas stations, demand · What happens: burn, spin, make, start up, jump · To what, where: gas turbine, gas power station, steam
This is a sentence of the lesson «Power stations and the grid» of the technology 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 (burning gas, hot exhaust, gas stations, demand), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
