I am again come back for your english grammar teaching, please read the following things
An adjective used
attributively is generally placed
immediately before the noun; as,
King
francis was a hearty king, and loved a royal sport.
Where are
you going, my pretty maid, with your rosy cheeks and golden hair?
Observe the difference in meaning between—
A great
nobleman’s son, and

nobleman’s great son/
In poetry, however, the adjective is frequently placed after
the noun; as,
Children
dear, was it yesterday?
We heard
the sweet bells over the bay.
O man with
sisters dear!
When several adjectives are attached to one noun they are
sometime placed after it for emphasis; as,
There dwelt
a miller hale and bold.
The king,
fearless and resolute, at once advanced.
Franklin had great genius,
original , sagacious, and inventive.
When some word or phrase is joined to the adjective to
explain its meaning , the adjective is placed after its noun; as,
He was a
man fertile in resource.
A sikh,
taller than any of his comrades, rushed forward.
In certain phrases the adjective always comes after the
noun; as,
Heir
apparent, time immemorial, lord paramount, viceroy elect, letters patent,
knights temporal, notary
