Hi,

You need 'the' when you use an adjective like a noun in this way.

This school is meant for the rich.

This school is meant only for the poor.

Thank you friends.

This forum is exclusively meant for the people who want to learn English. If you are the very person, join here.

It has been told that these(blue) sentences are incorrect. So I wonder why they are incorrect if all my original(first post) sentences are correct which are almost similar. Could you help me with this?

Hi,

Do you mean 'blue' rather than 'red'? Please clarify.

I would say that 'meant for' is OK in your blue sentence.

Do you think this sentence is also correct which is a part of the blue one? No, it's not right. The expression 'The very person' refers to one specific and unique person.

I'd rather use "if you are among them", "if you are one of them", or perhaps, but I'm not sure "if you are such a person"
