请教各位老师:
复合形容词15-year-old可以单独作主语吗?下面两句话中,复合形容词分别由a和the修饰,两句话都正确吗?
A 15-year-old sometimes forgets things, but that doesn’t mean his
or her memory is getting worse.
The 10-year-old gets up half an hour earlier on school days to play
computer games.
A 15-year-old sometimes forgets things, but that doesn’t mean his or her memory is getting worse.
The 10-year-old gets up half an hour earlier on school days to play computer games.
句中的 15-year-old 和10-year-old 不是形容词,而是名词,自然可以用主语。当这类结构用作名词,它还可以有复数形式:15-year-olds 和10-year-olds。
