# Solids, liquids and gases, sentence 2

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
In a liquid like juice the particles stay close but slide past each other, so the juice takes the shape of a tall glass or a wide bowl but keeps the same amount.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** particles, juice · **What happens:** stay, slide, take, keep · **To what, where:** liquid, each, shape, same amount

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Solids, liquids and gases» of the chemistry 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 (particles, juice), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
