Batteries, sentence 3

A rechargeable battery, like the one in your phone, can be pushed back: the charger moves the tiny particles back to where they started, ready to go again.

Who acts: charger, chemicals · What happens: push back, move, start, go · To what, where: rechargeable battery, tiny particles

This is a sentence of the lesson «Batteries» 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 (charger, chemicals), 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): 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.
