Hi! I'm Sam from BBC Learning English.
-
And today, let's look at how we can change
-
adjectives into nouns
-
when talking about groups of people in general.
-
I'm from England
-
and I can talk about people from my country in
-
two ways:
-
'English people talk about the weather a lot,'
-
where I use the adjective 'English'
-
to describe the noun 'people'.
-
Or I can take the adjective 'English'
-
and turn it into a noun with 'the':
-
'The English talk about the weather a lot.'
-
You can use this rule to talk about
-
other groups of people as well. For example:
-
The rich have more than the poor.
-
But be careful!
-
Yes, the groups of people are plural,
-
and yes the verb is plural,
-
but we don't add 's' to the end of these words.
