I heard it was possible to make a noun from an adjective like:
They are poor and live there. All the poors live there.
We mean "poor people" by the adjective "poor" + "s", like the plural form of the adjective.
But can I say just "poor" meaning then only one poor person? Or I can but only with "the" like:
The poor is there.
But wouldn't it be taken for "poverty" or "poorness"?
But What to do if the adjective is "homeless"?
They are homeless and live there. All the "homelesses" live there. This way?
And just "the homeless" would mean a single homeless person?
I hope you see what I mean
