"He is a talkative." ✗ INCORRECT
This sentence is grammatically wrong because it uses an adjective where a noun is required.
· After "a" or "an" (the indefinite article), you need a noun.
· "Talkative" is an adjective, not a noun. You cannot be "a [adjective]."
How to Fix the Incorrect Sentence:
If you want to use a structure with "a," you need to add a noun after the adjective:
· He is a talkative person. (Most common and natural)
· He is a talkative fellow/man/guy/student/colleague, etc.
Analogy:
Think of it like this:
· "He is very hungry." ✓ (Adjective)
· "He is a hungry." ✗ (Incorrect)
· "He is a hungry person." ✓ (Adjective + Noun)
