Can an adjective be behind a noun?
Hi,
Can you tell me if an adjective can be placed behind a noun? I think certain adjectives can be placed behind a noun but only a limited number of the adjectives. If it can how could we know if there is an expression ellipted or not? Sorry I cannot provide some examples but I am hoping someone can help me based on what has been said.
