词、助动词）

某些特定句式。

1 what is inversion？
the inversion refers to the relative
position of the subject and its
predicate in the main sentence.
2 why is there inversion？
to emphesis, to form some
special structure, and to make a
close connecion with the former
parts.
How to make the inversion？
put the whole predicate before its
subject to make the whole
inversion;
Put part of the predicate before its
subject to make the partial
inversion(model verb,link verb and
the helping verb)
全部倒装/full inversion
• 1 表示时间的副词和介词短语用于句首时，
要全部倒装。
• 常用的几个副词有here/there in/out
now/then up/down off/away
！当主语是代词时不用倒装。
部分倒装 /partial inversion
• 符合下列条件之一的用部分倒装
• 2 否定意义的副词连词用在句首时（no, at no time,
never ,seldom , hardly, not until…)
• ? Hardly … when … no sooner… than … Not
only… but also…连接并列单句时，前句还是后句应该倒
装呢 ？
• 3 only +状语+倒装的主谓部分
• ！状语包括副词、介词短语、从句等
• ！如果状语是从句形式，特别分清倒装的是主句的主谓，
而不是状语从句的主谓。
• (此以上三项为倒装的主体， 出现的频率大，复现率高）
其他一些倒装形式
• 4 there be 结构本身为倒装， be形式随后边的主语
• 5 一般问句 、特殊问句为部分倒装形式，提前部分主语。
• 6 在though 引导的让步状语从句中，提前表语，甚至谓语，构成倒
装句式。
• E.g. though she is clever ---clever as she is
•
though he might try----- try as he might
• 7 在虚拟的条件状语从句中，若从句中含有had,should ,were to 可以
提前这些词，同时省略if
• 8 强调表语，状语是，提前他们，也构成倒装。
• 9表示“同样适合”的句构：so/neither/nor+部分谓语（助、系、情态
动词）+主语
• ！如表示对前者的赞同、附和等则用
• so/neither/nor+主语+部分谓语（助、系、情态动词）
最后几句话
• 倒装相对于动词时态语态，非谓语，定语
从句，不是特别重要，但在阅读中，经常
遇到，作文中如能用到倒装这样的高级句
式，会增色不少，单选中，也时不时的见
到倒装的身影
• 总之，学会倒装会让你的英语更加完善。
