1374: Postpositive Adjectives: Head Verbs

Generally, in English adjectives come before nouns, but there are exceptions, this is sometimes for pronouns, or simply specific adjectives like 'ago', but also this is sometimes from certain verbs. Linking verbs do this (e.g. 'funny' in 'the man is funny'), but other ones such as 'keep' or ones related to speech such as 'proclaimed' can allow for the adjective to follow, such as in 'the man keeps clean', or 'the psychiatrist proclaimed her patient sane', but 'he is a patient sane' on without the head verb doesn't make sense.
