浅谈形容词在英语句子中的特殊位置
（一）形容词被其他词语修饰时，便要跟在所修饰的名词后面，如：
This hole←large←enough for a dog to pass through must be blocked up.
Don't throw away that filing cabinet←big←enough to keep all the old documents.
（二）两个意思相反的形容词并用时，也是要跟在被修饰的名词后面，如：
We should be fair to all people, big and small, young and old.
（三）形容词修饰“anything, something, nothing, everything”等代名词时，也要在后头出现，如：There is nothing funny about it.
Something important has been found.
（四）在某些固定的词语中，形容词在名词后头出现，如：

Since time immemorial （太古时代）, human beings have fought for survival.
（五）在某些口语中，形容词也跟在被修饰的.名词之后，如：
On Sunday last （上星期日）；16. On Monday next （下星期一）；17. Volume one （第一卷）；18. Chaper two （第二章）； 19. Page three （第三页）。
（六）有时，为了加强句子语气，形容词可以放在句首，如：
Brave he may be, but he is not a good soldier.
Old though Jane is, she is healthy and energetic.
（七）当定语是"形容词+介词+名词"时，要放在名词的后面
He gave me a box full of books. 他给了我一个盛满书的箱子。
（八）两个意义相反的形容词中间用and或or连接作定语时，常放在名词的后面。

E away, long, wide, high, deep, old等词附有数词短语说明时，要后置。
