形容詞的位置
單個(gè)形容詞修飾名詞的時(shí)候，一般前置。但是下列情況下形容詞卻要后置。
1)當(dāng)形容詞修飾由some,no,any,加上thing,body,one構(gòu)成的復(fù)合代詞時(shí)，總是后置。
【例如】
I have something urgent to do, so I have to go now.
There must be something wrong with him.
2)以able或ible結(jié)尾的形容詞與all, every, only或形容詞級(jí)連用時(shí)，常常后置。
【例如】
These are the best books available in the university library. Paris is one of the most beautiful cities imaginable.
3)形容詞詞組常后置。
【例如】
I know a girl good at singing.
作表語(yǔ)的形容詞
1)很多以a開頭的形容詞，如asleep, afraid, awake, alone, aware, alive, ablaze, alike等，一般只作表語(yǔ)。
【例如】
He was so tired that he soon fell asleep. Whether he was alive or dead in the earthquake is still unknown.2)這類形容詞有時(shí)可以放在名詞后作后置定語(yǔ)。
【例如】
He is one of the persons alive after the flood. The old man was the only person awake at the moment. 3)這類形容詞中有些像alike(相同)，alone(單獨(dú))，amiss(差別)，afire(燃燒著)，adrift(漂流)，afloat(漂浮)，afoot(徒步)等既是表語(yǔ)形容詞，又是副詞，它們的用法不同。
【例如】The twins look so much alike that it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. My brother and I alike are funs of pop music.
4)一些表示身體健康情況的形容詞，如ill, well, unwell, fit, poorly等，一般作表語(yǔ)。
【例如】
I don’t feel well. I need to go to see the doctor. How to keep fit is a popular topic these days.
