在英语中,主语和谓语的语序通常
是主语在前,谓语在后。但有时为了
语法结构的需要,或者是为了强调,
谓语的全部或一部分却提到主语
前面,这种语序叫做倒装。
倒装可分为:
a.全部倒装 b.部分倒装
倒装 (Inversion):
基本语序natural order
subject 主+ predicate 谓+object 宾
I love English.
倒装 Inversions
把谓语动词放在主语之前, 叫倒装结构。
如果全部谓语放在主语之前, 叫全部倒装;
如果只把助动词或be 动词等放在主语之
前, 叫部分倒装。
Here comes the car. (全倒)
Never will Zhou Yang forget….(半倒)
动词主体仍在后面
1. There goes the bell.
2. Out rush the children.
3. Never was he interested in the
pop stars.

small garden.
5. Only then did I realize that I
was wrong.
6. No sooner had she gone out than
the phone rang.
1.
2.
4.
goes
rush
was
Inversion(倒装句)
①若有主从句,哪句倒装。
②部分倒装还是完全倒装。
主语位于谓语are there之后
原句自然顺序是:
Many students are there in the classroom.
全部倒装
1. 用于 there be 句型。
There are many students in the classroom.
(there be+主语)
2. 用于“here (there, now, then) + 不及物
动词 + 主语的句型中, 或以out, in, up,
down, away 等副词开头的句子里面,
表示强调。
Here comes the bus.
There goes the bell.
Now comes our turn.
Out went the children.
名词

代词作主语时, 主谓语序不变。

Impossible to escape being punished
This Monday morning, Chen Fei, a student of Senior Two in our school, saw a traffic accident on her way to school. A boy was riding along the street. Suddenly, a car ran towards him fast knocking him off the bike.
Instead of stopping, the driver drove away fast and was soon out of sight, leaving the boy helpless. “It happened in only a few seconds,” said Chen Fei “but I know I should remember the number of the car.” Chen Fei reported this to the police. Now the driver has been caught and will be punished for his wrong doing.
Interview a student of Senior Grade three and write a report about their present study and life.
