名词后的定语形容词
大多数形容词在句子中有定语和表语两个主要位置。如果是定语位置,形容词出现在它所修饰的名词之前。
- She is a young girl.
- She married a poor businessman.
如果是表语位置,形容词出现在动词之后。
- She is beautiful.
- He looked ungry.
尽管定语形容词通常都位于名词之前,但有时也可以放在名词后,它们往往出现在一些固定短语中。
- Secretary General
- Poet Laureate
- Attorney General
- Court martial
一些词尾以-able/-ible结束的形容词也可以用于名词之后。
- It is the only solution possible.
- Book all the tickets available.
- After something, everything etc.
形容词可以放在something,everything,anything,nothing,somebody和anywhere等词汇的后面。
例句1:I would like to go somewhere quiet。(不是I would like to go quiet somewhere。)
例句2:I heard something interesting today。(不是I heard interesting something today。)
大多数表达量度的形容词跟随在量度名词之后。
- ten years older (不是Older ten years或ten older years)
- six feet deep
- two miles long
动词 + 宾语 + 形容词
形容词可以位于宾语之后。
