问题 What is the difference between partial and full conversion? Explain them with examples.

选项

答案When adjectives are converted into nouns, some are completely changed, thus known as full conversion, and others are partially changed, thus known as partial conversion. Adjectives which are fully converted can achieve a full noun status, e. g. , having all the characteristics of nouns, that is, they can take "a/an" or "-s/-es" to indicate singular or plural forms: a native, a Republican, a pair of shoes, finals. Adjectives which are partially converted can still keep adjective features. They should always be used with "the", and they cannot take "-s/-es" to show plural forms. Moreover, the words can have comparative or superlative degrees: the poor, the poorer, the young, the very unfortunate.
