Phần 4: The + adjectives - English In A Minute

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.
