Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani was an outlier, a thriller that kept you on the edge of your seat till the credits rolled. http://m.rediff.com/movies/report/review-kahaani-2-not-enough-thrill/20161203.htm How do we know that "outlier" is not a describing( adjective) word but a naming word( noun)? Why indefinite article used before "outlier" and "thriller"? Can we put numbers before both?
