Grammar
Noun + (Verb+ed)
could you please explain the following underlined words how they are constructed ?
"All the organizations involved have sent urgent appeals to the government, asking for extra funding."
Because when we use (Verb+ed) as an adjective, it always comes before the Noun. However, in the shown example, it comes after the Noun !. Then, how can I know when I shall use (verb+ed) adjective before or after the noun?

how can I know when I shall if I should use a (verb+ed) adjective before or after the noun? I don't believe there really is any simple way to know. English usage is flexible on this point, and it takes quite a bit of familiarity with the phrasings of English to select the better position for a modifying participle.

Thank you Mr. CJ for your clarification on this point .
However, would it be right if I say " Open the window closed" ?
I know my sentence sounds strange and funny (^_^) but I'm asking whether it is gramatically right or not.
Best Regards
