I know the rule that adjective phrase, preposition phrase, and infinitive phrase modify a noun from the behind,but sometimes they modify a noun from the front as stated below, using hyphen.
[adjective phrase]
a rule easy to remember
an easy-to-remember rule
[preposition phrase]
the book on the table
the on-the-table book
his manner in your face
his in-your-face manner
[infinitive phrase]
a high-level group soon to be appointed
a soon-to-be-appointed high-level group
Please tell me what is the difference between them(a rule easy to remember and an easy-to-remember rule / the book on the table and the on-the-table book /
a high-level group soon to be appointed and a soon-to-be-appointed high-level group).
