# Energy: what makes things happen, sentence 3

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Energy is never used up, it only changes form: when a bouncing ball gets lower each bounce, the missing energy has turned into a little heat and sound.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Energy, bouncing ball, missing energy · **What happens:** not use up, change, bounce, get, turn · **To what, where:** Energy, form, bounce, little heat

<!-- .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, bouncing ball, missing energy), 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): R8-pos-agree ×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.
