Correct usage of the word "late"

Friday, April 8, 2016
 I wish to bring it to your notice that the adjective "late" (meaning 'the state of being dead') can only be used in the attributive sense and never in the predicative sense. Let me try to make this simpler for your understanding. All adjectives are like that. i.e. Used either attributively or predicatively. This means that some adjectives can come before nouns while others only come at the end of the sentence, without preceding nouns. For "late", you can never say something like "Ademuyiwa Osinuga is late". You can only have "late" coming before a noun. e.g. The late Ademuyiwa Osinuga has been buried. I hope you get?
