Adjectival Nouns:

A
When referring to people, adjectives can sometimes be used as nouns. The definite article precedes the adjective, which is now capitalized because it is functioning as a noun. The adjectival nouns take the regular adjective endings for adjectives preceded by a der word as well.

der Alte- the old man
die Alte- the old woman
das Alte- everything that is old
die Alten- the old people
