1、以「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 等女口：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・ 另B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 等常作后置定语女口：A boy outs ide 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。

女口： used, concerned, presentAll the people present （在场的）voted for him.Present situation is serious・ （目前的，现在的）All parties concerned （有关的）are present.Concerned （忧虑的） parents held a meeting・the method used is very efficient （运用的，使用的）This is a used bike. （旧的） 二、短语作后置定语1、介词短语、副词短语、形容词短语等用作后置定语如 The man in the car is Jim ' s father・ （介词短语）He made a report on modern science （介词短语）A friend in need is a friend indeed （介词短语）I live in a village for from here （副词短语）He cast it a second time, and drew in an old basket full of sand （形容词短语）2、不定式用作后置定语。

单个分词一般作前置定语，而分词短语作后置 定语，此时可以转化相应的定语从句① The old man has a walking stick （动名词当定语表示用途）② Can yon see the falling leaves in the sky. （现在分词当定语表示动作进行）（过去分词当定语③ Deer don，t like eating fallen leaves表示动作完成）④ The man running on the playground is our English teacher・ （现在分词当后置定语，与被修饰词存在主动关系）=The manwho is running on the playground is our English teacher ・⑤ Do you know the girl dancing in the center?⑥ The food cooked by my mother was delicious・ （过去分词当后置语与被修饰词存在动作的完成与被动关系）=The food which was cooked by my mother was delicious・⑦ The building built was designed by Mr Warg・=The building which was built was designed by Mr Wang・⑧⑨ There were over 300 people trapped above the fire.⑨The building being built was designed by Mr Wang・ （过去分词的进行式作后置定语表示与被修饰词存在动作的被动且正在 进行）=The building which is being built was designed by Mr Wang.三、从句作定语都是后置.一个句子修饰某个名词或代词，我们 称之为定语从句，定语从句可分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从 句，非限制性定语从句常用逗号隔开，表示补充说明。
