- a school bus
- a coffee cup
后置修饰语 | 后置定语
介词短语作定语
介词短语放在名词后作定语：
- the book on the desk
- a girl in red

非谓语作定语
非谓语动词放在名词后作定语：
- 现在分词（主动/进行）：the boy standing there
- 过去分词（被动/完成）：the book written by him

单个分词作定语通常放在名词前（a broken window），分词短语放在名词后（a window broken by the boy）。
定语从句
定语从句是用整个句子作定语，放在名词后修饰名词。被修饰的名词叫先行词。
- The boy who is standing there is my brother.
- The book that I read is interesting.
