✔ 最佳答案
Attributive Adjectives (前): adjectives that are placed in front of the nouns they modify.
e.g. the "blue" sea, the "old" man

Predicative Adjectives (後): adjectives that are placed after the nouns they modify, with a linking verb in between
e.g. the sea is "blue", the man becomes old

Postpositive Adjectives (後): adjectives that immediately follow the nouns they modify.

Example of postpositive adjectives:

(1) set phrases (especially in certain institutionalised 制度化 expressions)

~ Governor General
~ attorney general
~ Princess Royal
~ words unspoken
~ accounts payable

(2) postposition is obligatory when the adjective modifies a "indefinite" pronoun:

~ something "useful"
~ everyone "present"
~ those "responsible"

(3) postpositive adjectives are commonly found together with the superlative format of attributive adjectives:

~ the shortest route "possible"
~ the worst conditions "imaginable"
~ the best hotel "available"

Attributive Adjectives 放在noun的前面
eg: It is a wonderful party.

Postpositive Adjectives 放在noun的後面
eg: She made the party wonderful.

Predicative Adjectives 通常是經由動詞連接
eg: The party is wonderful

"special" 是 adjective

Special care must be taken in handling very old books. (~ attributive adjective)
You are special. (~ predicative adjective)
There is nothing special (~ postpositive adjective)

2015-03-30 05:24:59 補充:
"咁Postpositive係咩??"
postpositive (adj.) ~ occurring or placed after a word.

這字來自 postposition (n.) 文法術語
~ a word or part of a word that comes after the word it relates to

post- 是 prefix, 解 "after"
Postpositive adj. 當然放係 noun/pronoun 後

Duncan 已清楚地解釋 Postpositive adjective
Well said!
