Hi guys, so how do you use an adjective like you use a noun?

Basically, you just put "the" in front of the adjective.

But this only works with certain adjectives, usually when you're referring to a group of people who share that quality.

Examples:

the rich

the poor

the smart

the dumb

the better

the worse

the elderly

the young

the wise

the jealous

For instance:

"The young" refers to a group of young people.

"The great" could refer to a group of great or outstanding people.

So yeah, that's basically it. Just add "the" before certain adjectives to turn them into collective nouns.

怎样像使用名词一样使用形容词？

很简单，只需要在形容词前加上 "the"，但不是所有的形容词都适用。

通常，这种用法用于指代一类具有相同特征的人群。

例子包括：

the rich（富人）

the poor（穷人）

the elderly（老年人）

the young（年轻人）

the wise（智者）

the jealous（嫉妒的人）

比如：“the young” 就是指“年轻人”这个群体。

“the great” 表示“伟人”这一类群体。

二、什么是形容词？

英文讲解：

Adjectives are words that describe nouns.

You can't see or feel an adjective by itself.

For example:

You can see an awesome show,

But you can't see an awesome.

Adjectives are always placed before nouns in English.

中文翻译：

形容词是用来修饰名词的词。

形容词是看不见摸不着的。

比如：你可以看到一个“精彩的节目”，

但不能说“你看到了一个精彩”。

在英文中，形容词通常位于名词前。

三、什么是副词？

英文讲解：

An adverb is a word that tells you more about a verb.

For example:

I ran quickly. ("quickly" describes how I ran.)

Most adverbs end in -ly, but not all.

Adverbs generally come after the verb, not before.

Putting an adverb before a noun doesn’t make sense.

中文翻译：

副词是用来修饰动词的词。

大多数副词以 -ly 结尾，但也有例外。

副词通常位于动词之后，不喜欢出现在动词前面。

如果把副词放在名词前，就没有意义了。
