Question

英语语法

Often had I intended to speak of it. 这是一个什么句子，Often had怎么在句首，祈使句？

Answer 1

翻译：我曾经多次想谈到他
解析：这个句子是倒装句的结构，强调想说的次数的频繁。正常的语序：I had often intended to speak of it 。

为了强调（不强调就不必了），以下这这几类副词放到句首，需要倒装：频度状语 often, always, once, many a time, now and again, every other day, every two hours 等, 方式状语 thus 及程度状语 so 等; 地点状语 in the distance, in front of 等的几种副词或介词短语。

举例：Often did we warn them not to do it.我们经常警告他们别做这事。
Many a time has he helped me with my experiment.
　　他不止一次帮我做实验。
　　Thus was the Emperor deceived. 皇帝就这样受骗了。
　　So busy is he that he has no time to spare. 他忙得抽不出一点儿时间。

如果能帮到你，希望采纳，谢谢！
