Presentation

1.

Ask the Ss to find out the sentences of Inversion in the Reading. First explain what an inversion is. “In normal word order in a sentence the subject comes before the verb. But sometimes the order of the subject and the verb is reversed, which we call Inversion. Step Ⅱ

Explanation and Summary The order of the subject and the verb is reversed after the following adverbial elements: 1)

Adverbial expressions of negation or near negation with no, not, never, neither, seldom, scarcely, rarely, barely and hardly, etc. The same reversal of word order takes place after negative conjunctions like neither, nor, not only…but also, no sooner… than

e.g. In no case can an exception be made.

Never have I seen such a stupid.

Not until he loses all his money will he stop gambling.

Scarcely had he entered the room when he was knocked down by a stranger.

Not only is he beautiful, but she is also very intelligent.

2) Adverbial expressions with only e.g. Only after an operation will he be able to walk again.

Only one has he done such a thing. 3) Adverbial expressions with so e.g. So greatly did he admire the beautiful actress he asked her to marry him. The word order is also reversed after the conjunction so. e.g. I caught a cold, and so did my wife. 4) Adverbial expressions of place e.g. There stood the tallest man he had ever seen. Inside the room were a few pieces of furniture. But when the subject is a pronoun instead of

a noun, the order should not be inverted. e.g. Here he comes. Off he ran. 5) Other adverbials in initial position e.g. Loud and clear rang the bell. 1
