倒装句
1. 倒装句之全部倒装
全部倒装是只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。常见结构:
1) here, there, now, then, thus等副词置于句首, 谓语动词常用be, come, go, lie,run。
There goes the bell.
Then came the chairman.
Here is your letter.
2) 表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首,谓语表示运动的动词。
Out rushed a missile from under the bomber.
Ahead sat an old woman.
注意:上述全部倒装的句型结构的主语必须是名词,如果主语是人称代词则不能完全倒装。
Here he comes. Away they went.
2.倒装句之部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态倒装至主语之前。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。
1) 句首为否定或半否定的词语,如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at notime, in no way, not until… 等。
Never have I seen such a performance.
Nowhere will you find the answer to this question.
Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave theroom.
当Not until引出主从复合句,主句倒装,从句不倒装。
注意: 如否定词不在句首不倒装。
I have never seen such a performance.
The mother didn't leave the room until the child fellasleep.
典型例题 1) ---Why can't I smokehere? ---At no time___ in themeeting-room.
A. is smoking permitted B. smoking is permittedC. smoking is it permitted D. does smoking permit
答案A. 这是一个倒装问题。当否定词语置于句首以表示强调时,其句中的主谓须用倒装结构。 这些否定词包括no, little,hardly, seldom, never, notonly, not until等。本题的正常语序是 Smoking ispermitted in the meeting-room at no time.
2) Not until the early years of the 19th century ___ what heatis.
A. man did know B. man know C. didn't man know D. did manknow
答案D. 看到Not until…的句型,我们知道为一倒装句,答案在C,D 中选一个。
改写为正常语序为,Man di d not know what heat is until the early years ofthe 19th. 现在将not提前,后面就不能再用否定了,否则意思就变了。
3.以否定词开头作部分倒装
如 Not only…but also, Hardly/Scarcely…when, Nosooner… than
Not only did he refuse the gift, he also severely criticized thesender.
Hardly had she gone out when a student came to visit her.
No sooner had she gone out than a student came to visit her.
典型例题: No sooner___ than it began to rainheavily.
A. the game began B. has the gamebegun C. did the game begin D. had the game begun
答案D. 以具有否定意义的副词放在句首时,一般采用倒装句(谓语前置)。这类表示否定意义的词有never, seldom,scarcely, little, few, not, hardly, 以及not only…but (also), nosooner…than, hardly… when scarcely… when 等等。
注意:只有当Not only… but also连接两个分句时,才在第一个分句用倒装结构。如果置于句首的Not only…but also仅连接两个并列词语,不可用倒装结构。
Not only you but also I am fond of music.
4. so, neither,nor作部分倒装 表示"也"、"也不" 的句子要部分倒装。
Tom can speak French. So can Jack.
If you won't go, neither will I.
典型例题: ---Do you know Jim quarrelled with hisbrother? ---I don't know,_____.
A. nor don't I care B. nor do I care C. I don't care neither D.I don't care also
答案:B. nor为增补意思"也不关心",因此句子应倒装。A错在用 don't 再次否定, C. neither 用法不对且缺乏连词。D缺乏连词。
注意: 当so引出的句子用以对上文内容加以证实或肯定时,不可用倒装结构。意为"的确如此"。
Tom asked me to go to play football and so I did.
---It's raining hard. ---So it is.
5. only在句首要倒装的情况
Only in this way, can you learn Englishwell.
Only after being asked three times did he come to themeeting.
如果句子为主从复合句,则主句倒装,从句不倒装
Only when he is seriously ill, does he ever stay in bed.
6. as, though引导的倒装句
as / though引导的让步从句必须将表语或状语提前 (形容词, 副词, 分词,实义动词提前)。
注意:1) 句首名词不能带任何冠词。
2) 句首是实义动词, 其他助动词放在主语后。如果实义动词有宾语和状语, 随实义动词一起放在主语之前
Try hard as he will, he never seems able to do the worksatisfactorily.
注意: 让步状语从句中,有though,although时,后面的主句不能有but,但是 though和yet可连用。
7. 其他部分倒装
1) so… that 句型中的so 位于句首时,需倒装。 So frightened was he that he did notdare to move an inch.
2) 在某些表示祝愿的句型中: May you all be happy.
3) 在虚拟语气条件句中从句谓语动词有were, had, should等词,可将if 省略,把 were, had,should 移到主语之前,采取部分倒装。 Were Iyou, I would try it again.
典型例题: 1) Not until the early years of the 19th century___ whatheat is.
A. man did know B. man knew C. didn't man know D. did manknow
答案为D. 否定词Not在句首,要求用部分倒装的句子结构。
2) Not until I began to work ___ how much time I hadwasted.

3) ---Do you know Tom bought a new car? ---Idon't know, ___.
A. nor don't I care B. nor do I care C. I don't care neither D.I don't care also
解析:答案为B. 句中的nor引出部分倒装结构,表示"也不"。由 so, neither,nor引导的倒装句,表示前一情况的重复出现。其中, so用于肯定句, 而 neither, nor 用在否定句中。

(1)1-4题:only所修饰的状语(副词、介词短语或状语从句)位于句首时,谓语动词要部分倒装。注意:如果only后面不是状语,则不用倒装。例如:OnlyWang Ling knows this.
(2)5-12题:含有否定意义的副词(not until, never, hardly, seldom, little,not, neither, nor, scarcely等)位于句首时,谓语动词要部分倒装。注意:10题、11题的no sooner... than..., hardly...when...句型中,前面的主句用部分倒装,后面的从句不倒装。
(3)13-19题:so位于句首,表示前面的内容也适用于另一人或物时;neither,nor位于句首表示另一人或物也不这样时,谓语动词要用部分倒装。

答案a. 这是一个倒装问题。当否定词语置于句首以表示强调时,其句中的主谓须用倒装结构。 这些否定词包括no, little,hardly, seldom, never, not only, not until等。本题的正常语序是 smoking ispermitted in the meeting-room at notime. 改写为正常语序为,man did not know what heat is until the early years ofthe 19th. 现在将not提前,后面就不能再用否定了,否则意思就变了。
以否定词开头作部分倒装
如 not only…but also, hardly/scarcely…when, no sooner… than

英语倒装句讲解
英语句子按主谓排列顺序来分有正常语序和倒装语序。正常语序的结构是“主语+谓语”,倒装语序为谓语(或谓语的一部分)+主语。
倒装语序分为完全倒装和部分倒装两种。完全倒装是将整个谓语移至主语前面。例如:Then comes thebus。部分倒装是只将助动词、系动词或情态动词放在主语之前。例如:Is she an English teacher?
倒装结构的用法:
一、副词here,there, in, out,up ,down, away,back,now, then, ahead等位于句首,当谓语动词是be,come, go,follow,run等表示位置移动的动词,而且主语又是名词时,需要把谓语动词放主语之前,即全部倒装。
注意:A 此类倒装不用进行时态度。B若主语是代词时,不用倒装。
