# The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 1, sentence 115

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
“Ye choose and ye do not choose!

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Ye · **What happens:** choose, not choose

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of «The Jungle Book» by Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book, part 1. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Ye), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

<!-- .note-en -->
**Parsed by Mova, not checked by a teacher.** This tree is Mova's own parse (the `en` model, on the CPU, when the site is built); it may be wrong.

## Pragmatics {#pragmatics}

<!-- .fr -->
| # | verb | tense, mood | who | what, whom | to whom | where | when | other | roles by |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | **choose** *in a quote* | present | Ye |  |  |  |  |  | vn get-13.5.1 «NP V NP»: agent=Agent |
| 2 | **not** **choose** *in a quote* | present · do-support | ye |  |  |  |  |  | vn get-13.5.1 «NP V NP»: agent=Agent |

<!-- .note -->
One row per clause the reader finds. «not said here»: a role filled from the clause above. «roles by»: a VerbNet class and frame when one fits the verb, else the reader's rules on the tree.
