Who acts: Moon, lit half, we · What happens: be, face, see · To what, where: new moon, far side, whole lit half

This is a sentence of the lesson «The Moon and its phases» 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 (Moon, lit half, we), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
