<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Energy is what lets things move, heat up, light up or change; you cannot see it, but you can see what it does.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Energy, things, you · **What happens:** be, let, move, heat up, light up, change · **To what, where:** Energy

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Energy: what makes things happen» 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 (Energy, things, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
