过去分词短语作修饰语时,可以放在被修饰名词前面和后面,放在后面时,就是过去分词作后置定语.它的作用相当于一个定语从句. 例如: In 1983 there were only 200 computers connected to the internet. (connected to the Internet) 是过去分词作后置定语,相当于定语从句 which were connected to the Internet. 又如:Most of the people invited to the party are his schoolmates. (invited to the party )是过去分词作后置定语
