Thanks, that was helpful.

Are these correct?
1. This is a featured model.

2. This is a feature model. (Is this wrong? Because 'feature' is an adjective? So it is supposed to be 'featured'?)

3. This is a feature picture. (So this is incorrect right?)
4. This is a featured picture.

5. I hope they keep him locked up forever.
6. I hope they keep him lock up forever. (Is this a to-be sentence? If so, how? So 'lock' is wrong?)

3. This is a feature picture. (Adjective) OK
=> This picture is the feature (i.e., the main movie. Noun)

4. This is a featured picture.(Adjective) OK
=> This picture is featured. (i.e., shown as the main movie. Adjective)

5. I hope they keep him locked up forever. OK
=> He is locked up.
6. I hope they keep him lock up forever. (Not OK)
=> *He is lock up.

4. This is a featured picture.(Adjective) OK
=> This picture is featured. (i.e., shown as the main movie. Adjective)

I don't really see the differen in meaning. Do they mean the same thing? If so, what's the point of making it a noun or an adjective?

It's a feature movie.
=> It describes the kind of movie: It's the main movie.

It's a featured movie.
=> It describes the movie as having already undergone a process: It has been the main movie before.)

Thank you very much.

Is it okay to say this:
1. Thanks very much.

2. Thank you very much.
What do #1 and #2 mean?

Thanks
Thanx (spelling variation <x> sounds like <ks>)

It's a featured movie.
=> It describes the movie as having already undergone a process: It has been the main movie before.)

So it means it has been the main movie before and it is still the main movie?

Or does it mean:

So it means it has been the main movie before and it is still the main movie again?

And also, it's being featured.
