只做表语的形容词
英语中有些形容词不能放在名词前面作定语,只能用作表语或后置定语,这类词语一般称作表语形容词。表语形容词分为以下两类:
表示健康状况的词,如well, ill
由前缀 a-构成的形容词。
表示健康状况的词
1. well
He is well.
He is a well man.
2. ill

由前缀a-构成的形容词
3) 前缀a-构成的形容词都不能作前置定语,但当它们本身带有副词修饰时,又可作前置定语。
e.g. a really alive student
a somewhat afraid boy
the fully awake patient
只能作后置定语的形容词
形容词修饰由 some-, any-, every-, no-等和
-body/ one/ thing等组合的复合不定代词,须后置:
e.g. anybody present
something new
只能作后置定语的形容词
Children need the best education possible.
Children need the best possible education.
2) 某些以-able 和-ible 结尾的形容词作定语时常常后置,e.g. imaginable/ possible/ available等。
这些词作后置定语修饰名词时,名词前常可以有形容词最高级或only 等限定词作为前置定语。
