1 倒装句概要说明
@1 倒装句概念
英语句子的⾃然顺序是主语在前, 谓语在后(主语+谓语),倒装句是把谓语动词放在主语之前(谓语+主语)
@2 倒装句分类:
- 全部倒装:全部谓语放在主语之前。谓语+主语,比如:Here came the headmaster.
- 部分倒装:只把助动词或be 动词放在语之前。助动词/情态动词+ 主语 + 动词,比如:Nerve will I forgive you.
2 倒装句详细说明
2.1 完全倒装
@1在以here、there、now、then 等副词开头的句⼦里。句式为:副词+vi+主语
- Here comes the old lady!
- Then came the hour we had been looking forward to.
- Now comes your turn.
如果主语是⼈称代词,主语和谓语序不变,不用倒装。比如:
- Here you are.
- There she comes.
@2 表示⽅向的副词out, in, up, down等置于句首,要⽤全部倒装。 如果主语是⼈称代词,就不用倒装。
- In came Mr. White.
- Up went the arrow into the air.
- Away went the boy.
@3 当表示地点的介词词组(如on the wall, under the tree, in front of the house, in the middle of the room等)在句首时。
句式:介词短语+vi+主语(必须是名词),比如:
- At the foot of the hill lies a beautiful lake. East of the lake lie two towns.
- Under the tree was lying a wounded soldier.
如果主语为⼈称代词,则主、谓不需要倒装。 比如:
In he came and back he went again.
2.2 部分倒装
部分倒装是把be动词、情态动词、助动词放到主语之前。如果句子中没有这些词,要在主语之前加助动词do / does / did等,而把原来的 谓语动词变成原形放在主语之后。
2.2.1 句首状语为否定词或半否定词的句子。
@1 这类词或短语主要有:never, neither, nor, little, seldom, rarely(罕有), by no means(决不不), in no way(决不不), at no time, few, not, no。
- Never in my life have I heard such a thing.
- Little did we expect that he could come.
- Not a single word did he say at the meeting.
- By no means should we do like this.
@2 以否定词开头的关联结构:No sooner ...than..., Hardly/scarcely...when...,Not only...but also...
- Hardly had I reached the airport when the plane took off.
- Hardly had he got on the bus when he heard a shout.
- Not only did he buy a bike for me but he also sent it to my house.
- Not only the mother but also the children are sick.(连接主语时不不倒装)
2.2.2 Only + 状语(副词/ 介词短语/ 状语从句),位于句首,要部分倒装

- Only then did I realize the importance of math. (副词)
- Only when the war was over in 1918 was he able to get happily back to work. (从句)
2.2.3 so...that/such...that句型中so, such位于句首时,句子要部分倒装。
