以a字母开头的形容词,如' asleep...

以a字母开头的形容词,如' asleep', 'alone ' 等只能做表语。如:

The two brothers are very much alike.
Although old, he is very much alive.

我们不可以说:
× an asleep child
× an alive fish

这样的形容词有很多,比如:alike, alone, asleep, alive, aglow alone, afraid, asleep, aware, awake 等等。

不过,该形容词前面有副词修饰的时候,也可以连同副词一起用作名词的修饰语。比如我们可以说:
the fast asleep a child

the wide awake patient
