Pre-assessment: adj como sustantivos

Body text

When you are comparing two similar objects, you can avoid repetition by dropping the noun and using an article with an adjective.

How?

¿Cuál prefieres, la sudadera apretada o la floja?

Which hoodie do you prefer: the tight or the loose one?

This also happens in English:

-Do you prefer the red jacket or the blue one?

- The red one.

In this case the noun is dropped because the speakers know what object they refer to.

¿Cuál prefieres, la sudadera apretada o la floja?

In Spanish we dropped the noun but we keep the article- la- and the adjective-floja-
