Carol responds:
You meant adjective, right?

md:
to be logical can be a verb "to be" as in "to be logical" wherein being logical is also the action. 

Carol responds:

Okay, I see what you mean although "logical" is not an action. "To be" is a linking verb and "logical" in "to be logical" is the predicate adjective.

Md:
You can be logical or emotional, these are actions. 

Carol:
Well, no. "Logical" and "emotional" adjectives describing mental states. See above on linking verbs.

md:
You can be coldly logical, where coldly is the adverb modifying the verb logical.

Carol:
Right. But the adverb is modifying an adjective, not a verb. 

Carol, with apologies to the List Elves for the OT posts
