Explain full conversion and partial conversion by taking "drinkables" and “the wounded" as examples.
【正确答案】：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, i. e. having all the characteristics of nouns. That means they can take a/an or -s/-es to indicate singular or plural forms: drinkables. Adjectives which are partially converted 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 wounded。
