限定词的顺序

当有不只一个限定词同时修饰一个名词时，一些限定词习惯上应位于其他限定词之前。我们可以按出现的先后次序把限定词分为前位限定词、中位限定词和后位限定词。当同时出现多个限定词时，中位限定词应位于前位限定词之后，后位限定词应位于前位限定词和中位限定词之后。

1) 前位限定词：包括 all, both, half, 以及倍数或分数如 double, twice, one-third, two-third 等。

2) 中位限定词：包括冠词a/an, the；物主代词 my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their; 指示代词 this, that, these, those; 不定代词 each, every, some, any, either, no, neither；名词所有格；疑问限定词 what(ever), which(ever), whose, whosever；单词enough。

3) 后位限定词: 包括基数词，序数词，量词，many, much, more, most, other, another, certain, last, next, past, additional, such等。(注: last, next, past, additional 等应位于不定代词之前)

下面用一些例子来说明这个次序。

It is true that there are very few such incidents and that the overwhelming majority of our people disapprove of them. 这些事件诚然是极少数，并且绝大多数人并不赞同。

此外, 还有几点要注意：
1) such 也可以位于不定冠词a/an 之前，形成such a/an的固定搭配，表示“这么一个, 这样一个”的意思，如：
To have such an easy examination paper was a gift from the gods. 碰到这么容易的考卷可以说是上帝的恩赐。
I never know such a man.　我从来不认识这样一个人。

2) such 还可位于基数词之后，如:
This implies the existence of at least one such tree. 这意味着至少有一个这样的族系存在。

3) another 位于数词之前，如：
