Parts of Speech Dialogue Page

Larry: Parts of Speech. Hmmm...you want to start with the top part or what?

VK: Ha! The Parts of Speech section is a vocabulary lesson. All you need to do is learn the meanings of words such as "noun" "verb" and so forth.

Larry: Oh, man. I've been learning this stuff since third grade. Do I have to go through this again?

VK: Nah. Just the ones you don't remember.

Larry: Why? Huh? Why?

VK: So you and your teacher can use these words with some hope that you will understand each other.

Larry: That's it? That's why I've been force fed this stuff all my life. Just to make some teacher's job easier?

VK: Well, it's also a good way to meet people at parties.

Larry: What!?

VK: Sure. You see someone attractive at a party you just go up to that person and start talking nouns and adjectives and prepositions and you will find this person all over you in endearing ways.

Larry: I think you're losing it.

VK: You're not the first. But let's change the subject and move on.

Larry: OK.
