4、。但有时为了语法的需要或为了强调，把全部谓语或谓语的一部分提到主语前面，这种语序在语法称为倒装。除了在疑问句中，句子要用倒装外，还有一些句子要用倒装。英语的倒装一般分成两种，一是把谓语动词全部放在主语前，叫做全倒装。一是把谓语的助动词部分放在主语前，叫做部分倒装。Grammar(1):Inversion Used for Emphasis 全倒装 在there be句型中，如：1)There are some desks in the classroom.2)There used to be a temple on the top of the mountain.在以here,there,ou
5、t,in,up,on,away,off,down等副词开头的句子中，如：v1)There goes the bell.v2)Here comes the train.v3)Out rushed the little girl.v4)Away went the Grandpa.v5)In came a group of policemen但如果主语是人称代词时，不用倒装，如：Here it is.Down it dropped.直接引语的部分或全部放在句首时，如：1)“Who will come here to help you?”asked the teacher.2)“I dont thin
6、k he will come.”said the girl.当介词短语在句首时，如：1)In front of the old house sat an old woman.2)On the top of the mountain stands a tower.部分倒装 only所修饰的副词,介词短语和状语从句放在句首时，如：1)Only then did he know that he was rejected by the boss.2)Only in this way can you collect more stamps.3)Only when her father came back
7、 was she able to go to school.一些含有否定意义的副词或连词如hardly,never,not,not only,little,seldom,no sooner放在句首时，如：v1)Never have I been to the mountain village.v2)Not a single word did he write in the class.v3)Little did the boy know the rules of English grammar.c.用so作简单回答时表明前面说的情况也适用于另一个人，如：He likes swimming in

10、调句型。利用这种句型可以强调除谓语动词外的大多数句子成分，所强调的可以是单词、短语，也可以是从句，但结构必须完整。被强调的成分可以是主语、宾语和状语，但不能是定语或谓语。引导词it置于句首，后接动词be（一般是is或was），再加上强调的部分，再接that-/who-从句。如：Jack missed the first lesson yesterday because he was caught in the traffic jam.It was Jack who missed the first lesson yesterday because he was caught in the tr
11、affic jam.(强调主语)It was because Jack was caught in the traffic jam that he missed the first lesson yesterday.(强调状语)It was the first lesson yesterday that Jack missed because he was caught in the traffic jam.(强调宾语)注意：判断It is/was 这样的句型是不是强调句，只须把It is/was和who/that去掉，如果意思是完整的，就是强调句。反之，就不是。就为例，去掉It is/was
12、和who/that，意思没有改变，仍然是一个完整的句子，因为引导词It is/was.和who/that不充当句子成分。如果强调的部分是表示人的名词或人称代词，多数情况下用who，如上面的例句。如果被强调的是人称代词，要用主格形式，非正式文体中多用宾格(如me,him等)，但不可取。如：It was I(me)who told the police 若强调否定词，它的结构形式是：It+be not+中心成份+thatwho分句。如：I didnt come back till the day before yesterday.It was not till the day before yes
