Noun-Adjective Transformation
Hi,
I love her humbleness.
With e few grammatical changes we can say: "I love how humble she is". And the sentence above, in this case, precisely retain its meaning.
My query is: Can we imply this structure to all adjectives? Both of the sentences remains same, just any adjective comes instead of humble. Does it work for all adjectives?
Many thanks..

The list of adjectives is endless, so I would not hesitate a guess. Why don't you try several yourself? I suspect, however, that some nouns do not have related adjectives or vice versa.

Hi Mr.Micawber,
I see your suspicion. However, I think I got the answer. the adjectives that have noun forms too are in the rule.
Thanks...
