He has been sent to somewhere particular.他被派到某个特定的地方去了。
四、定语由here,there,in,out,home,above,below,abroad,before,yesterday等副词充当时,往往要后置。例如:
He is on his way home.他在回家途中。
Can you tell me something about the social system there?你能给我讲讲那里的社会制度吗?
It had been fine the day before.前一天的天气很好。
五、定语为现在分词或过去分词时,如果它强调的不是比较永久的特点,而是分词本身的动作,则通常要后置。例如:
Most of the people singing are the students.唱歌的人多数是学生。
Their high standard showed the progress made.他们的高水平表明了他们取得的进步。
六、定语由某些以-able或-ible结尾的形容词充当时,有时也后置。这类后置定语有时只表示暂时的特征、现象等。例如:
It's the only solution possible.这是唯一可能采取的解决办法。
Are there any tickets available?还有票吗?
That's the only star visible now.那是颗现在唯一可见的星。
七、有些只具有表语功能的形容词作定语时,必须后置。例如:

He is one of the few workers alive today who took part in the strike.他是参加过这次罢工还活着的少数工人之一。
