英语倒装句例子
英语倒装句例子如下:
一、部分倒装
1、否定副词位于句首时的倒装
在正式文体中,never,seldom,rarely,little,hardly,scarcely,no sooner,no longer,nowhere等含有否定意义副词若位于句首,则其后要用部分装:
I shall never forgive him. / Never shall I forgive him. 我永远不会宽恕他。
He seldom goes out for dinner. / Seldom does he go out for dinner.他很少出去吃饭。
2、“only+状语”位于句首时的倒装
当一个状语受副词only的修饰且置于句首时,其后用部分倒装语序:
Only then did he realize that he was wrong. 到那时他才意识到他错了。
Only in this way are you able to do it well. 你只有用这种方法才能把它做好。
3、“so+adj./adv.”位于句首时的倒装
副词so后接形容词或副词位于句首时,其后用部分倒装:

4、“so+助动词+主语”倒装
当要表示前面提出的某一肯定的情况也同样适合于后者,通常就要用“So+助动词+主语”这种倒装结构:
You are young and so am I. 你年轻,我也年轻。

6、虚拟条件句的省略与倒装
当if引导的虚拟条件从句中含有had, were, should等时,如将if省略,则要将had, were, should等移到主语前,构成倒装句:

2、away和down等位于句首时的倒装
地点副词away, down, in, off, out, over, round, up等位于句首时,其后用完全倒装语序。这类倒装句的谓语通常表示动态的不及物动词:
