Simple machines and how they help, sentence 19
A machine that saves force always makes you move further; it never saves work for free.
Who acts: machine, you · What happens: save, make, move, not save · To what, where: force, you, work
This is a sentence of the lesson «Simple machines and how they help» 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 (machine, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
