What is the difference between partial and full conversion? Explain them with examples.
【正确答案】：It is not unusual to have nouns converted from adjectives. Unlike verbs, not all adjectives which are converted can achieve a full noun status. Some are completely converted, thus known as full conversion, others are only partially converted, hence partial conversion. A noun fully converted from an adjective has all the characteristics of nouns. It can take an indefinite article or-(e)s to indicate singular or plural number, such as a white, valuable. But nouns partially converted from adjectives do not possess all the qualities a noun has. They must be used together with definite article. They retain some of the adjective features, for instance, the poor, the rich.
