倒装分为全部倒装和部分倒装。
全部倒装:
①当首句为方位或时间副词,谓语动词为go,come等时通常用全部倒装。
② 如果句首出现了地点状语,句子也可以进行全部倒装。
③ 当句子当中出现分词结构的时候,可以把现在分词或过去分词和地点状语联系在一起放在句首,把be 动词留在中间当作谓语动词,主语放在后面。
部分倒装:
1、当句首状语为否定词或带有否定意义的词语时,这个句子就需要部分倒装。
2、当句首为only加状语的时候,这个句子需要部分倒装。
3、so......that 结构中的so位于句首时,常引起部分倒装。
4、句子开头的as 处在第二个单词的位置上,表示虽然的意思。
5、常见的固定搭配结构中需要用倒装的情况。
hardly.....when....; scarcely .....when..... ;no sooner....than.....:
hardly,scarcely,no sooner 后面一定要用过去完成时,when 后面用一般过去时;the more ......the more... 越....越.... ;
