GRAMMAR

INVERSION

We use inversion in several different situations in English. Inversion just means putting the verb before the subject. We usually do it in question forms:

-       Normal sentence: You are tired. - The subject is ‘you’. It’s before the verb ‘are’

      Question form: Are you tired?    - The verb ‘are’ is before the subject ‘you’. They have  changed places. This is called ‘inversion’.

We also sometimes use inversion in other cases, when we are not making a question:

When we use a negative adverb or adverb phrase at the beginning of the sentence.

Usually, we put the expression at the beginning of the sentence to emphasise what we’re saying.

         I have seldom heard such a beautiful voice. (Seldom)

Seldom have I heard such a beautiful voice. [Adverb + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb]

This sentence emphasizes what beautiful voice it is

Never have I had such bad service.
