DescriptionVinny the Action Verb & Lucy the Linking Verb may disagree on some things, but they both love teaching about verbs. Vinny and Lucy approach life differently. Hes all action, while shes content to sit back and be.With their friend Jake the adjective in trouble, however, the two verbs must put aside their differences and work together to save the day. Vinny the Action Verb & Lucy the Linking Verb is book two of the Meet the Parts of Speech series, in which the eight parts of speech are personified based on the roles they play in the sentence. From the shady pronoun always trying to take the nouns place to the motherly conjunction who just wants everyone to get along, the Meet the Parts of Speech series uses the mechanics of character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter.
