老师,单个形容词是不可以作后置定语的吗,为什么可以这样用,特殊用法?
网友的问题,涉及两个内容:
1. 表语形容词作定语,要后置;
2. 有些形容词原本不需要后置,但受条件制约而后置。
1. 有些表语形容词作定语时,必须置于名词之后。一些以a-开头的表语形容词,如alive, afraid, awake, alone, asleep 等作定语时,必须置于被修饰词的后面。

He is the most famous pianist alive in the world today.

2. 有些以-able 和-ible 后缀结尾的形容词,可以置于有最高级形容词或only 等词的名词之后。available 后置的情况多于前置。
