初中英语中的后置定语
在英汉两种语言中,定语的作用大致相同，但值得注意的是，汉语里的定语都是放在它所修饰词之前,而在英语里,定语的位置既有在被修饰的词之前,也有在被修饰的词之后，本课主要就初中英语教学中常见的后置定语作一探讨。
一、所有的短语作定语要后置（介短、形短、不短、分短）
1.介词短语作后置定语

his experience in teaching phonetics 他教授语音学的经验
Then the man in the shop understood what the Frenchman meant.（介词短语）
I see you’ve made some drawings of our defence works.
2.不定式短语作后置定语

3.分词短语作后置定语，在意思上相当于一个定语从句

中国幅员辽阔，包括寒带、温带和热带。

我们是患难与共的兄弟。

4.形容词短语作后置定语，相当于一个定语从句
He cast it a second time and drew in an old basket full of sand.
He saw a magazine on the table next to him.
word suitable to the occasion 适合这样场合的言辞

sentences difficult to understand 难于理解的句子
a man ready to lend a hand at any time

二、所有的定语从句一律自然后置

三、甚至许多单个单词也可作后置定语：
1.形容词作后置定语
①四 one、四 thing、四 body、四 where 的修饰语（如 something, somewhere, anyone, anybody），定语只能后置。

条重要新闻。

②某些以-able 或–ible 结尾的形容词若与有限制性较强的定语.如only, all, any, every 或形容词最高级连用，表示暂时的特征或现象时，
常后置。
