You'll be young. When? Sounds strange. Perhaps you mean 'You are young'.

Hi Clive! My question was basically on the use of the article "an" before the word  adult.Example: You will be an adult. There is  no difference ,though,whether the word adult can be used as an adjective or a noun.In the end  we must say an adult.Is that right?
