英语倒装句的种类
当主语在谓语前出现时叫顺序（the natural order）。在某些情况下，我们可以把谓语成分放在主语前面，这种词序叫做倒装（ the inverted order）。
倒装分两种：配合语法条例的倒装，叫“grammatical inversion”；配合强调语势的叫“emphatic inversion”。
语法上的倒装句是强制性的，包括下列 7 种：
⒈疑问句，如：
● can you do it?
● how old are you?
● when did you know him?
● why did you elect him as captain?
● which of these apples do you prefer?
但疑问代词做主语时，不必倒置，如：
● who is your english teacher?
● what happened last night?
⒉表示“愿望”的句子，如：
● may god bless you.
● long live the king!
⒊“there”引导的句子，如：
● there are many cars on the road.
● there stand some big trees near the river.
● there is a security guard outside the bank.
⒋感叹句，如：
● how beautiful the flower is!
● what a smart boy you are!
⒌有连接词“so, neither, nor”的句子，如：
● tom can ride a bicycle; so can i.
● she cant sing; neither can he.
● john has never been late; nor have i.
⒍省略连词“if”的条件副词分句，如：
● were i you, i would not do such a thing.
● should the machine break down again, send it back to us.
● had you worked harder, you would have passed.
⒎“as, however”连接的让步副词分句，如：
● small as the pen is, it is a powerful weapon.
● however busy you are, you should spend some time reading zaobao weekly.
谈过了语法上的倒装句，现在谈强调的倒装句。
● never have i seen such a wicked man.
● on no account must this employee be removed.
● not until he told me had i heard anything of it.
● no sooner had i left than the rain came.
● up jumped the puppy.
● in came john.
● down fell the rotten branches from the tree.
● out came a woman and her maid.
