Embarrassed

Hi,

Can we say: the embarrassed man did not speak.

Can embarrassed precede the noun in this manner?

Thanks,

Thanks, AS, but WORD says it cannot precede a noun. It can be used like this: The man was embarrassed. But not like this: The embarrassed man spoke.

Well, I am a native speaker, and it sounds a bit unusual, but not wrong. What are you trying to say?
