# Changes you can undo and changes you can't, sentence 5

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Melting, freezing, boiling and condensing are reversible changes, because the molecules stay the same.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Melting, molecules · **What happens:** be, stay · **To what, where:** reversible changes

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Changes you can undo and changes you can't» 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 (Melting, molecules), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
