Adjective / noun
Message from dangkhoa posted on 17-05-2013 at 02:05:11 (D | E | F)
Hello,

Could you help me please?
Thank you for your answers.


The qualifying adjective may be used as noun, as in "The rich aren't always happy". The comparative and superlative can too. as in "The best is the cheapest in the long run", or in "These two rooms are comfortable, but the smaller the most". We don't know whether the more/less form, or the most/the least form may be considered as noun, e.g whether we can write "The more intelligent will be happy", or "The most intelligent are the unluckiest".

Well ..
An adjective is a word that describes a noun and always comes before it.
Ex. I saw a pretty girl in the mall yesterday.
( pretty = beautiful ) is an adjective that describes how much beautiful is that girl is.
( girl ) is the noun.
I talked to a smart boy in the International Book Fair for Children.
( smart = intelligent ) is an adjective that describes the intelligence of that boy.
( boy ) is the noun.

Hello ,
Although I don't clearly understand what you expect as answers , iI will have a try .
An adjective can be considered as a noun .
The rich are lucky people whereas the poor have a very hard life .
Adjectives :
a ) if you compare two persons , two things or else, you use the comparative . No need for a superlative which works from three ...to as many as you want in a group .
Take two brothers : the more intelligent of the two is the older , yet the younger who is less brilliant is so much nicer !
b ) with a comparison between 3 or more , you'll use the superlative : the most pathetic of the Brontë sisters was certainly Emily .

Have I treated the point you wished to be discussed ?
