Past participls before a noun
Hello. I've recently read through an article on Past Participles on the website and they gave the sample sentence there:
-The boy taken to hospital has recovered.
Can you please tell me if the participle phrase can be dragged to the beggining of the sentence? This way:
-The taken to hospital boy has recovered.
If not, could you please explain why? And is it about all the adjectives? (As here the participle phrase has probably been used as an adjective phrase). Thanks in advance.

I don't know, it doesn't sound that clear to me, though. It's better to take the answer from the the teachers. But if I try to make it like that, I'll say: -The taken boy to hospital has recovered.

- In fact, I want to add the article "a" before "hospital" but since you took that paragraph from an article, I'll leave it as it is.
