问：到底是his many friends 还是 many his friends?

Student 问：到底是his many friends 还是 many his friends? 为什么？
Alvin 答：这个问题涉及英语限定词的位置。
英语中表示指定的限定定语（均出现在被限定词的前面）同时出现时， 通常按照“前位－中位－后位”的顺序来排列在被限定的词前面。 据此， 英语出限定词分为：（具体可参见《英汉语言对比研究》上海外语教育出版社 何善芬著 P313－316）

1. 前位限定词
如：all, both, half，etc; double, twice, three times, etc; one-third, two-fifths等。
2. 中位限定词
如：a/an, the, this, that, these, those; my, your, his, etc; Mary's, the teacher's,etc;
some, any, no, every, either, neither, enough, much, etc;what(ever), which(ever), whose
等。
3. 后位限定词
如：one, two, etc; first, second, etc; many, little, few, several, more, less, etc; last,
next, other, another, such 等。
