In a liquid the particles are close together but slide past each other, so a liquid flows and takes the shape of its container, but keeps its volume.
Who acts: particles, liquid · What happens: be, slide, flow, take, keep · To what, where: liquid, each, shape, volume
This is a sentence of the lesson «Solids, liquids and gases» of the world 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 (particles, liquid), 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): R1-cc-next ×1, R3-conj-first ×1. 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.
