Probably in Chinese, that we sometimes use inversion, usually only in writing. Two types of example: 1. where the sentence starts with a prep. phrase 2. where the sentence starts with a negative word/ phrase.

A: Into the garden came three men. B: 1.Never have I seen so many people. 2.Not often do you see a lion in your garden. 3.Not only is/ was it cold, but also wet. 4.Not only does he smoke, but he also drinks. 5.Not only did he smoke, but he also drank.

A: Three men came… 1. I have never seen…. 2. You do not often see… 3. It is / was not only cold… 4. He not only smokes… 5. He not only smoked…

Part 4 Rewrite these sentences using normal word order. 1.The rain came down. 2.Three women came into the hall. 3.The bell is ringing. 4.The bus is coming. 5.I do too. 6.He can’t either. 1-4 Inversion occurs after adverbial expressions of place. In version occurs after neither, nor, not, so.

按 “ 主语 + 谓语 ” 这种顺序排列的句子 是陈述语序， 如果变为 “ 谓语（或谓语的一部分） + 主语 ” 就是倒装语序。 Full inversion 全部倒装 （ 1 ） there be 句型 There is going to be a meeting. There is a book on the table.

(2) here, there, now, then, in, out 等 副词置于句首时，主谓倒装，但如 果主语是人称代词时，主语和谓语 语序不倒装。 Here comes the bus. Here he comes. (3) 直接引语的部分或全部位于 句首时，有时也有倒装 “What he said meant nothing”, said the teacher.

(4) 为保持句子平衡，强调表语或状 语，使上下文紧密衔接时须完全倒 装 In front of the house sat a small boy.

Partial inversion 部分倒装 （ 1 ） so, neither, nor 置于句首 说明与前者情况一致时 I like swimming, so does my brother.

(2) only + 状语，放句首 Only through this method can we win. Only in this way can we do the work well. (3) 含有否定意义的词置于句首 （ hardly, scarcely, not, seldom, no sooner, never, little, at no time, on no way, no more…) Never had I heard that. Little did I know about this.

(4) 以 often, so + 形容词或副词开头 的句子 So heavy is the box that he cannot carry it. (5) 用于省略 if 的虚拟条件句中，将 had, were, should 提前 Were I you, I wouldn’t do that. Had he come, we would have won. (6) 用于某些表示祝愿的句子 May you be happy forever.
