课件38张PPT。Grammar and usageUnit 3InversionWhat is the difference between the following pairs of sentences? I like the beautiful girl.
Do you like the beautiful girl?I am doing my homework.
What are you doing?In the above sentences, the second
sentence of each pair is a question.
The order of the words in the sentences
has been changed. This is called inversion.
When we use inversion, we put the
predicate or part of it before the subject,
so the predicate is emphasized instead of
the subject. Inversion can be used in many cases besides in a question. When the sentence begins with a negative
word or a negative phrase such as neither,
nor, never, not, at no time, seldom, hardly I can’t swim; neither can he.Never shall I forget the day when I met
Mr Wang in the countryside.At no time is smoking permitted in the
meeting room.Hardly had he got into the room when
the telephone rang.When the sentence begins with
only and so/suchOnly by practicing a few hours every
day, will you be able to master the
language. So beautiful is she that we all like her.Such a beautiful girl is she that we
all like her.Note: Inversion should not be used when
only modifies the subject.When the sentence begins with
direct speech or part of it“I’ll come back in three days,” said Tom.When the subject is too longPresent at the meeting were many
important persons.When the sentence begins with
here, there, in, out, up, down, on, etc.Here is an apple for you.There goes the bell.There are many students in our school.Note: If the subject is a pronoun, we
can not use inversion.Inversion can also be used in formal
language to talk about unreal conditionals.Had I time (= If I had time), I would go
and help you.Were I you (= If I were you), I would go
abroad.Should he come (=If he should come),
tell him to ring me up.In the sentences containing the
conjunctions like though/asClever as he is, he doesn’t study well.Child as he is, he knows a lot. Much as I like it, I won’t buy it .Try as she might, she failed.When a prepositional phrase which
indicates a position is used as an
adverbial of a place, we can put the
prepositional phrase at the beginning
of the sentence, and put the predicate
verb before the subject.In front of our classroom are many
beautiful trees.
