倒装句讲解和练习

英语倒装句(Inversion)

主语和谓语是句子的核心，它们之间有两种语序：

一是主语在谓语之前称为自然语序(Natural Order)；

二是主语在谓语之后则称为倒装语序(Inverted Order)。

而倒装语序中又有完全倒装 (Full Inversion)和部分倒装(Partial Inversion)

完全倒装(Full Inversion):又称"全部倒装",是指将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。此结构通常只用与一般现在时和一般过去时。

部分倒装(Partial Inversion):指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态动词倒装至主语之前，而谓语动词无变化。如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词，则需添加助动词do, does或did，并将其置于主语之前。

英语句子的倒装一是由于语法结构的需要而进行的倒装，二是由于修辞的需要而进行的倒装。

前一种情况，倒装是必须的，否则就会出现语法错误；后一种情况，倒装是选择性的，倒装与否只会产生表达效果上的差异。：

一、部分倒装

就是把谓语中的be动词、助动词或情态动词置于主语前面。常见于下列几种情况：

(一) .only所修饰的副词，介词短语或状语从句放在句首时，要用：only+状语+ be /助动词/情态动词+主语及其他

Only whe n he told me the n ews did I know what had happe ned.

On ly in this way can you make progress in your En glish.

Only in this way can you solve this problem.

注意：only修饰主语时，不需要倒装

A. you can hope

B. you did hope

C. can you hope

D. did you hope

(二) .含有否定意义的副词或连词放在句首时。如：never, little, seldom, not, not only, not un til, no sooner (…tha n), hardly (…whe n), rarely, scarcely, in no way 等。

(1) hardly …when; scarcely- when…；no soone…than… 可以用正常语序had hardly done when…did 或用倒装句式Hardly had + 主语+ done wher… did句式。hardly所在的句子用过去完成时。

The bell hardly had rung when the class began.= Hardly had the bell rung when the class began.

(2) not o nly…but also如连接两个成分时，不用倒装；连接句子时，前面的句子要用倒装。
