Electricity at home and staying safe, sentence 6
A fuse or circuit breaker cuts off the electricity if too much flows, for example when a cable is damaged or too many things are plugged in, because too much current makes wires hot enough to start a fire.
Who acts: fuse, much, much current · What happens: cut off, flow, damage, plug in, make, start · To what, where: electricity, cable, wires, fire
This is a sentence of the lesson «Electricity at home and staying safe» 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 (fuse, much, much current), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
