Anyway, the difference between your immoral people example and the "examples given" is that you have much more of a mouthful. By the way, you might want to ask a Question about "examples given" having the adjective after the noun. (Although perhaps that has already been asked; but if so, you will discover that, when you start drafting your question, or when people start "voting to close".) I also wanted to make sure you know about a relatively new sister site, English language learners: ell.stackexchange.com. | |

| Sep 7, 2015 at 0:52 | comment | added | aparente001 | That would be more unusual. "We saw once again exactly the same group of immoral people, previously mentioned." If I were you I would stick with the vanilla version (with the adjectives preceding the noun). | |
