# Electricity and safety, sentence 0

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Electricity flows wherever it finds a path to somewhere with a different push, such as the ground, and a human body can be that path.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Electricity, human body · **What happens:** flow, find, be · **To what, where:** path

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Electricity and safety» of the physics 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 (Electricity, human body), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

**The tree:** Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R1-cc-next ×1. **The frames** are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (`prag`) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
