There are many adjectives that are also nouns; some examples are:

  • all words for colors are both nouns and adjectives; blue is my favorite color; a blue car.
  • the present participle of a verb (the -ing word) is a gerund (verbal noun) and an adjective; Fishing is my hobby and I have a favorite fishing spot.

Others are:

  • ancient: an ancient of Greece; the ancient city.
  • chance: take a chance; a chance meeting.
  • choice: you have a choice; a few choice words.
  • fool: I felt like a fool; the same fool question.
  • grand: It cost me a grand; what grand scenery.
  • ground: we sat on the ground; sprinkle with ground nuts.
  • short: a short in the wiring; I wear a short; there was a short after the main feature; a short, short pair of shorts.
  • true: the frame is out of true; that is a true story.
  • quality: sincerity is a good quality; these are quality goods.
