With inversion sentences you can emphasize an event or subject mentioned in the sentence. There are many inverted sentence structures that this lesson has listed. Let's explore with EnglishTopVN the article Inverted Sentences in English.
Emphasis can be placed on an event or subject in a sentence using the inversion sentence structure. This is the phenomenon of inversion, which is the phenomenon of reversing the position of the verb or auxiliary verb before the subject for the purpose of emphasis.
And there are also many different types of anagrams, which you may or may not have known. In this article, we will learn the most common types of inversions, to know how to apply them in tests and in real life.
Anagrams in English
Only once, Only later, Only in this way, Only in that way, Only then + Auxiliary + S + V, Only after + N, Only by V_ing/ N, Only when + clause, Only with + N, Only if + clause, Only in adv of time/place,…
For example:
Only once did I meet her.
Only after all guests had gone home could we relax.
Only when I understand her did I like her.
Only by practising English every day can you speak it fluently.
Never/ Rarely/ Seldom /Little/ Hardly ever + auxiliary verb + S + V (never/rarely does someone do something.)
For example:
– Conditional sentence type 1: Should + S + V, S + will/should/may/shall + V…(If… then…)
For example:
– Conditional sentence type 2: Were S + to V/ Were S, S + would/could/might + V (If …. then …)
For example:
If I had money, I would buy that car. => Were I to have money, I would buy that car.
– Conditional sentence type 3: Had + S + PII, S + would/should/might have PII (If… then…)
For example:
– Attention:
Inversion of a conditional sentence is only inverted in the if clause, the following clause remains the same.
Inversion describes two actions that happen close together and consecutively after a while: No sooner… than, Scarely… when, Hardly… when,… then we use the formula:…. + had + S + PII …+ S + Ved (immediately after …..)
Anagrams in English
– It was not … until that …: until => Not until + auxiliary verb + S + V + that + …
For example:
– At no time, On no condition, On no account + Auxiliary + S + N, Under/ in no circumstances, For no reason, In no way, No longer
For example:
So + Adj/ Adv + Auxiliary + S + V + that clause (noun clause)
For example:
So dark is it that I can’t write.
Not only + Auxiliary + S + V but…. also……….
For example:
Not only is he good at English but he also draws very well.
Never/ Rarely/ Seldom /Little/ Hardly ever + Auxiliary + S + V
For example:
Never in Mid-summer does it snow.
Hardly ever does he speak in the public.
