英语语法倒装句的用法
一、倒装句的意义
1. 适应一定的语法结构的需要,主要是指疑问句句型结构的需要。
e.g. May I come in?
Was the People's Liberation Army founded in 1927?
2. 为了强调某一部分,而把这部分放到句首,构成倒装。
e.g. Never have I been late for school this term.
So early did he come to school that no other students came.
二、倒装的使用情况
1. 在“there be”结构里,there是引导词,主语在be后。
e.g. There is a box on the table.
2. 在疑问句中。
e.g. Is she singing in the classroom?
What does your mother do?
3. 在here, there等副词开头的某些句子里(要用一般现在时态)。如果主语是人称代词,主语和主要动词的词序不变。(完全倒装)
e.g. There goes the bell.
Here is an apple for you.
There she comes.
4. 重复倒装句型,用在以so, nor, neither开头,表示谓语所述的`情况也适用于另一个人或一事物的肯定或否定句中。so用于肯定句,表示“也一样”“也这样”;nor, neither用于否定句,表示“同样也不,也不这样”。
e.g. I am watching TV. So is she.
My parents didn't watch TV last night. Neither (Nor) did I.
5. 直接引语的全部或一部分放在句首时,主句中的主谓也常直接倒装。(完全倒装)
e.g. "Very well," said the French student.
"Bring me two eggs and a cup of tea, please." said he.
6. 在以never, little, hardly, not only, few, not, seldom等否定副词开头的句子中,采用部分倒装。如不放在句首就不要倒装。
e.g. Little did he say at the meeting.
Never shall I forget the day when I joined the Army.
比较:I shall never forget the day when I joined the Army.
7. 用于以only所修饰的副词、介词短语或状语从句的句子中。
