Hello!

Form nouns from the following adjectives.

(Formaţi substantive din următoarele adjective)

1. elderly

2. middle-aged

3. poor

4. young

5. rich

Ca şi în limba română, unde unele adjective pot deveni substantive prin articulare cu articol hotărât (ex. tricoul alb // albul ochilor), acelaşi procedeu de îmbogăţire a limbii, prin schimbarea valorii gramaticale, se observă şi în limba engleză.

Astfel, vom articula cu articolul hotărât "the" adjectivele de mai sus şi vom forma propoziţii.

1. elderly  ⇒ the elderly

2. middle-aged  ⇒ the middle-aged

3. poor  ⇒ the poor

4. young  ⇒ the young

5. rich ⇒ the rich
