一、单个词作定语后置的情况

1、以a-开头的表示状态的形容词，一般在句子中当表语成份，但作定语时须后置，类似的形容词有：alive, asleep, alike, alone. awake, aware, ashamed, adrift, ablaze, absent, afraid, available等如：

He spoke like a man afraid.他说话的时候像是很害怕似的。

Tom was the only boy awake at that tine.那时汤姆是唯一醒着的男孩。

The house ablaze is next door to mine.?那着火的房子就在我家隔壁。

2、部分表示方位、处所、时间副词作定语。如here, there, above, below, upstairs. downstairs.??outside, inside, around. today, nearby?等常作后置定语。如：

A boy outside is waiting for you.

People there are very friendly.

The man upstairs is making a noise.

3、形容词修饰复合不定代词时应后置

I have something important to tell you.

There is nothing serious.

There is nobody suitable for the job.

4、else?只作后置定语，修饰疑问词或不定代词。

When else shall we meet again, if Friday is not convenient for you?
