In this paper I asses Davidson's analysis of action sentences stressing its quantificational structure and its views on prepositions and adverbial modification. Three arguments inspired by Grice's ideas are deployed against it. First, I point to weird consequences of taking prepositions as defining predicates; second, I show some obstacles for Davidson's view on adverbs; finally, I raise some doubts about his putative analysis of "negative actions". From these, I hope that connections among actions, facts and events should be reconsidered in action theory.
