LESSON 18 : INVERSION

I Inversion after negative adverbials:

1, Never, Rarely, Seldom

Rarely can a minister have been faced with such a problem.

2, Hardly/Scarcely when

No sooner than

Ex: Hardly had he raised the alarm when the fire engine arrived.

No sooner had she told him her address than she regretted it.

3, Phrase containing ‘no’, ‘not’: on no account, under no circumstances at no

time, in no way, in vain, on no condition, not until, not only (but also)

Ex: In vain did they try to persuade him.

On no condition are they to open the fire without a warning.

Not until I got home did I notice that I had the wrong umbrella

II Inversion after ‘so’/ ‘such’ with ‘that’:

1, So + Adjective

Ex: So devastating were the floods that some areas may never recover.

So little did he know about her that he was not even sure of her name.

PNote: So little/few/many/much.

2, Such + Be + Noun: => so much/ so great

Ex: Such was my annoyance that I tore up the letter

Such was the force of the storm that trees were uprooted

III Inverted conditional sentences without ‘if’:

Three types of If- sentence can be inverted without ‘If’ This makes the sentences more formal and makes the event less likely

Ex: If they were to escape, there would be an outcry

=> Were they to escape, there would be an outcry

If the police had found out, I would have been in trouble

=> Were the police to have found out, I would have been in trouble

If you should hear anything, please let me know

=> Had I known, I would have protested strongly

IV Other structures:

1,Inversion after ‘as’

Ex: They live in Hollywood, as do most other stars

We were short of money, as were most people in our neighborhood

2,‘Only’, ‘Only when/if’, ‘Only then’:

Ex: Only after posting the letter did I remember that I had forgotten to put

on a stamp.

PNote: When ‘only’ refers to ‘the state of being the only one’, there is no inversion following it

Ex: Only Mary realized that the door hadn’t been closed

3, Inversion after ‘neither’, ‘nor’, ‘so’:

Ex: Neither do I Nor is he So are you

4, Inversion after ‘Little’:

Ex: Little does the government appreciate what the results will be

5, ‘Here’, ‘There’

Ex: Here are the answers

There goes the bus Here comes the taxi

6, Adverbial expressions of place:

Ex: Up jumped the cat

In the corner sat a large pig

PNote: If the subject is pronoun, inversion does not take place:

Ex: Here you are!

Down it jumped Round the corner she ran
