There is no eclipse every month because the Moon's path is tilted a little, so usually it passes just above or below the line between the Sun and the Earth.

Who acts: eclipse, Moon · What happens: be, tilt, pass · To what, where: path, line

This is a sentence of the lesson «Eclipses» 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 (eclipse, Moon), 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 ×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.
