please give me a sentence each

Hi,

I am trying to grasp the concept involving the transformation of an uncountable noun into a countable noun or the vice versa more clearly and I think this will add to my understanding.

Do you agree the word 'life' is an uncountable here? Then, would you provide me with a sentence for each phrase?

A life of a poor

The life of a poor

Life of a poor
  

Top answer

Hi, 'Life' appears to be countable in your examples. However, I don't fully understand your phrases, because 'poor' is not a noun, but an adjective. Do you mean, perhaps, 'a poor person'?
