- You're gonna love this book.

Adjectives used as nouns: the poor, the injured
……………….
- When you want to talk about groups of people who
share the same characteristic or quality, you can use “the
+ adjective”. For example, instead of saying poor people,
you can say “the poor”.
… the help that’s given to the blind.
No effort is made to cater for the needs of the elderly.
… the task of rescuing the injured.
… men and women who would join the sad ranks of the unemployed.
Working with the young is stimulating and full of
surprises.
… providing care for the sick, the aged, the workless and the
poor.

*** Note that you never add -s to the adjective, even though
it always refers to more than one person.

❇️ Passive with “get” ❇️
အင်္ဂလိပ်မှာ Passive Voice ကို Verb to be + past participle ပုံစံနဲ့ ရေးလို့ ရပါတယ်။
- The mouse was chased by the cat.

Informal English မှာတော့ get + past participle ပုံစံကို သုံးပြီး passive လုပ်လို့ရပါတယ်။
ဒီပုံစံနဲ့ သုံးတဲ့အခါ တစ်ခုခု ဖြစ်ပျက်တာ၊ ပြောင်းလဲသွားတာကို ဖော်ပြပါတယ်။
မှတ်စရာက ဒီပုံစံကို အခြေအနေကိုဖော်ပြတဲ့ Stative or State Verbs တွေ ( ဥပမာ - believe, like, say) နဲ့ သိပ်မသုံးကြပါဘူး။
e.g.
- That tree was/ got blown over in the storm last night.
- This criminal is known to police in five different countries. ( ❌ “gets known” isn’t possible here.)

မှတ်ချက်။ ။ အခြေအနေ ပြောင်းလဲမှုကို ဖော်ပြတဲ့ စကားလုံးတွေ (ဥပမာ- married, engaged, divorced) နဲ့ စိတ်ခံစားမှုကို ဖော်ပြတဲ့ စကားလုံးတွေ (ဥပမာ - tired, bored, excited) နဲ့တော့ သုံးလို့ရပါတယ်။

အပျင်းပြေ ဖြေကြည့်ပါ။
✅ For each sentence, use the passive with “get” whenever possible.
1. I don’t know why this class is always so dirty. It _________________ (clean) every morning.
2. The murder suspect told the police a complicated alibi but it _________________ (believe) by them and he was charged with the murder.
3. “Whose is that computer in the corner of the office?” “I don’t know — it _________________ (never use) by anyone.”
