What is a postpositive modifier?

A postpositive modifier is a type of modifier that is placed after the word or phrase it modifies. It provides additional information or clarification about the word or phrase. Unlike premodifiers, which come before the word they modify, postpositive modifiers are positioned after the word or phrase. They can include adjectives, adverbs, phrases, or clauses. Postpositive modifiers are commonly used in various languages, including English, to add descriptive or explanatory details to the main element of a sentence.
