| Aug 8, 2012 at 12:50 | comment | added | Cerberus - Reinstate Monica | As you can see from your own question, they normally go before the noun, although there are exceptions; and if they serve as subject complements, they normally don't go before the noun. | |
| Aug 8, 2012 at 12:50 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | "Due partially to borrowings from French, English has some adjectives that follow the noun as postmodifiers, called postpositive adjectives, such as time immemorial. Adjectives may even change meaning depending on whether they precede or follow, as in proper: They live in a proper town (a real town, not a village) vs. They live in the town proper (in the town itself, not in the suburbs). All adjectives can follow nouns in certain constructions, such as tell me something new." — Wikipedia | |
