Useful structure ( 30m )
Inversion
一、概述：
英语句子的基本语序是主语在前，谓语动词在后（the natural order） ，当语序颠倒时就成了倒装结构（ the inverted order） 。把谓语的全部放在主语之前称为完全倒装；而只把助动词或情态动词放在主语之前，则称为部分倒装。
二、全部倒装句有：
1. here, there, now, then, thus，out，away, up,down等副词置于句首, 谓语动词常用be,come, go, lie, run。当其主语为名词时，通常要使用倒装。例如：
a. There goes the bell.
b. Then came the chairman.
c. Here is your letter.
d. Away went the boy to the school!
e. Off goes the woman!
注意：上述全部倒装的句型结构的主语必须是名词，如果主语是人称代词则不能倒装。
　Here he comes.　　 Away they went.
2. 以引导词there开头的句子，须使用倒装结构，除 there be 外还有there Live / stand / lie / exist等。例如：
a. There are three books on the desk．
b.There lived an old fisherman near the sea.
c.There stands a tall building in the centre of the town.
3. so, neither, nor表示前面所述一件事也适合另一个人或物时.So用于肯定句,neither/nor用于否定句.　a.Tom can speak French. So can Jack.
　b.If you don't go, neither will I.
注意：1) 当 so引出的句子用以对上文内容加以证实或肯定时，不可用倒装结构。意为"的确如此"。
Tom asked me to go to play football and so I did.
　 ---It's raining hard.　　　---So it is.
2)但如果上文所述两件事也适合另一个人或物，就用 So it is /was with sb.或It is/was the same with sb.
Marx was born in Germany and German was his native language. So it was with Engls.
4. 介词短语做地点状语放在句首
Eg. a.In the cottage lives a family of six.
b.Near the bridge was an old cottage.
c.In front of the house sat a little boy.
三、部分倒装句有:
1. 疑问句
a.Have you seen the film?
b.When are we going to drink to your happiness?

注意：如疑问词在句中做主语，则用自然语序。
c. Who is your sister?
d.What is our work?
2. so/such...that的so/such位于句首时，
Eg.a.So loudly did the students read that people could hear them out in the street.

b.So small were the words that he could hardly see them.

c.Such a famous man he is that everyone wants to take a photo with him.
3. 否定意义的副词或短语位于句首时，常见的有：
in no way, not only…but also, never, little, rarely, seldom, hardly... When, no sooner…than, scarcely…when, in no case, not until(当Not until引出主从复合句，主句倒装，从句不倒装。)等.
Eg. a. Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room. b.Hardly can I follow you.    c.Seldom do I visit USA. d. Never have I seen such a performance .
注意： 如否定词不在句首不倒装。e. I have never seen such a performance.f. The mother didn't leave the room until the child fell asleep.
4. 由as或though 引导的让步壮语从句。
表语十as＋主语十系动词be.
动词原形＋as＋主语十助动词.例如：
eg. a. Young as he is, he knows some of the family
. b. Try as I might, I could not lift the stone.

注意：当单数名词位于句首时，名词前无冠词。
eg. c. Child as he is,he knows good English.
5. 省略连词“if”的条件副词分句，如：
a.Were I you, I would not do such a thing.
= If I were you, I would not do such a thing.
b.Would the machine break down again, send it back to us.
= If the machine would break down again, send it back to us.
c.Had you worked harder, you would have passed.
= If you had worked harder, you would have passed.
6. 有些表示“感叹、祝愿”等语气的句子，也可使用倒装结构
Eg.a. Isn‘t it cold!
天气真冷！
b.May both be happy!
祝你们两位幸福！
c. May God bless you.
愿上帝赐福于你。d. Long live the king!
国王万岁！
7. Only 位于句首，强调句子的状语时。
Eg.a. Only then did I fully understand what my father said.
只有到那时，我才充分理解我父亲讲的话.b. Only when I left school did I realize how important study is.只有当我离开学校时，我才意识到学习有多么重要。
