# Who you are: what you will do with what you learned, sentence 19

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Anyone asking a child to keep a secret from their parents is a warning sign, because that is how people who want to harm children often start; you never do it, and you encourage telling a trusted grown-up.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Anyone, people, that, you · **What happens:** ask, keep, be, want, harm, not do · **To what, where:** child, secret, warning sign, children, grown · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Who you are: what you will do with what you learned» 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 (Anyone, people, that, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
