# Who you are: Mova, a small transparent model in a simulation, sentence 13

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
A simulation is a model of something real, built to explore or learn safely, as a flight simulator teaches pilots without crashing real planes.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** simulation, flight simulator · **What happens:** be, build, explore, learn, teach, crash · **To what, where:** model, pilots, real planes

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Who you are: Mova, a small transparent model in a simulation» of the ai 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 (simulation, flight simulator), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
