please speak to the concerned officer
Answers
Explanation:
I met the concerned officer because concerned is and adjective that describes the noun so it has to be before it. Like the green tree. Unless you were concerned by meeting the officer in which case they other would be correct. But if your saying the officer himself was concerned than the first would be correct.
Answer:
Yes, there is. When you talk about the concerned officer, you are talking about the officer who is worried. The man is concerned or worried about something. When there is a plane or train accident, you will have concerned relatives/friends ringing up the airport or the railway station. When you talk about the officer concerned, you are talking about the officer who is in charge of a particular department/section. For example, you might go to the sanitation department and meet the officer concerned. In other words, you meet the officer in the sanitation department who deals in the matter that you are interested in.
