is this?

_Both men were wrong_. Let us omit _men_ and say, _Both were wrong_. You
see the meaning is not changed--_both_ is here equivalent to _both men_,
that is, it performs the office of an adjective and that of a noun. It is
therefore an +Adjective Pronoun+. Let the teacher further illustrate the
office of the adjective pronoun by using the words _each, all, many, some,
such_, etc.
