The Red Fairy Book, The Twelve Brothers, sentence 90

They swooped downwards, and as soon as they touched the ground they turned into her twelve brothers, and she knew that she had freed them.

Who acts: ravens, Queen · What happens: swoop, touch, turn, know, free · To what, where: ground, Queen · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Red Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The Twelve Brothers. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (ravens, Queen), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

Parsed by Mova, not checked by a teacher. This tree is Mova's own parse (the en model, on the CPU, when the site is built); it may be wrong.
