I have to write down what I have learnt, or I will forget it.
After a noun head, the following can ensue in a noun phrase.
1. present participial clause
2. past participial clause
3. to-infinitive clause
4. adjective phrase
5. preposition phrase
The 5 elements above can be both defining and non-defining.
Moreover, only 1, 2 and 4 can be shifted to the front of the noun head.
However, the problems are they are not interchangeable, and some of them can only be used in particular cases.
