the_o or_o any_o other_o adjective_n can_v in_o good_a sense_n be_v join_v with_o a_o proper_a name_n as_o such_o because_o every_o adjective_n qualify_v and_o determine_v some_o kind_n of_o thing_n but_o a_o proper_a name_n be_v no_o kind_n of_o thing_n but_o a_o mere_a sound_n by_o which_o a_o individual_a thing_n of_o a_o kind_n be_v distinguish_v from_o other_o individual_n of_o the_o same_o

to_o make_v they_o plural_a a._n in_o english_a the_o adjective_n be_v alike_o in_o both_o number_n but_o when_o they_o be_v use_v as_o substantive_n than_o they_o admit_v we_o to_o make_v they_o
