英语倒装句的九种分类讲解
为了强调或平衡句子结构,英语中常用倒装。倒装有全部倒装和部
分倒装。全部倒装是指将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态动词置于主语之前。如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词,则需添加助动词do,does或did等,并将其置于主语之前。现将倒装句分类讲解如下:
1. 以here,there,now,then等地点或时间副词开头的句子,谓语动词是be, come, go, remain等,而主语又是名词时,用全部倒装。注意:如果句子的主语是代词时,则不倒装。如:Here comes the bus!/ Here it comes!
2. 有些动词与副词out,in,up,down,away等构成不及物动词短语。为了使句子更生动,常将这些副词提前到句首,这时用全部倒装。注意:句子的主语是代词时,则不倒装。如:Up went the rocket. / Up it went.
3. 将表示地点的介词短语放在句首进行强调时,使用全部倒装。谓语动词常为不及物动词。如: From the window came the sound of music.
4. 当句子主语部分较长,谓语部分较短,或为了强调句子的表语时,常使用全部倒装。句子的结构为“表语+系动词+主语”。如: Gone are the days when we had nothing to eat. 5. if虚拟条件状语从句中,如果将连词if省略,需用部分倒装。如:Were I you, I would go there.
6. as引导的让步状语从句的倒装有如下几种形式:
1) 从句的谓语部分为“不及物动词+副词”时,常将此副词提前到从句句首。如:Hard as you try, you will not succeed.
2) 从句的谓语部分为“情态动词+不及物动词”时,常将此动词提前到从句句首。如: Wait as you may, he will not see you.
3) 从句的谓语部分是“系动词+形容词”时,常将此表语形容词提前到从句句首。如: Proud as the nobles are, they are afraid to see me.
4) 从句的谓语部分是“系动词+单数名词”时,则常将这个表语提前,但要省略名词前的不定冠词。如: Child as he is, he can tell right from wrong.
7. 具有(半)否定意义的词或短语位于句首时,用部分倒装。如:seldom, rarely, not, never, by no means, in no time, hardly...when, no sooner...than, not only...but also等。如: Not only does he do well in his lessons, but also he often helps others with their lessons.
8. “only+状语”位于句首时, 用部分倒装。如:Only then did I know the importance of English.
9. so...that结构中,有时要强调so所修饰的形容词或副词,常将so 连同它所修饰的形容词或副词一起提前放在句首。如: So bright was the moon that the flowers seem as bright as by day.
英语语法倒装句之部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态倒装至主语之前。如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词,则需添加助动词do, does或did,并将其置于主语之前。
1) 句首为否定或半否定的词语,如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until… 等。
Never have I seen such a performance.
Nowhere will you find the answer to this question. Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room. 当Not until引出主从复合句,主句倒装,从句不倒装。 注意: 如否定词不在句首不倒装。 I have never seen such a performance.
The mother didn't leave the room until the child fell asleep. 典型例题
1) Why can't I smoke here?
At no time___ in the meeting-room
A. is smoking permitted B. smoking is permitted C. smoking is it permitted D. does smoking permit
答案A. 这是一个倒装问题。当否定词语置于句首以表示强调时,其句中的主谓须用倒装结构。 这些否定词包括no, little, hardly, seldom, never, not only, not until等。本题的正常语序是 Smoking is permitted in the meeting-room at no time.
2) Not until the early years of the 19th century ___ what heat is.
A. man did know B. man know C. didn't man know D. did man know
答案D. 看到Not until…的句型,我们知道为一倒装句,答案在C,D 中选一个。 改写为正常语序为,Man did not know what heat is until the early years of the 19th. 现在将not提前,后面就不能再用否定了,否则意思就变了。
倒装句讲解和练习
英语句子通常有两种语序:一种主语在前,谓语在后,称为自然语序,
另一种谓语在前,主语在后,称为倒装语序
按“主语+ 谓语” 这种顺序排列的句子是陈述语序。如果排列顺序
变为“谓语( 或谓语一部分)+主语”,就是倒装。倒装句分为:
一、部分倒装
就是把谓语中的be动词、助动词或情态动词置于主语前面。常见
于下列几种情况:
(一). only所修饰的副词,介词短语或状语从句放在句首时,要
用:
only+ 状语+ be /助动词/情态动词+主语及其他
Only when he told me the news did I know what had happened. Only in this way can you make progress in your English.
注意:only修饰主语时,不需要倒装。
1.Only in this way ________to make improvement in the operating sys
tem.
A. you can hope B. you did hope C. can you hope D. did you hop
e
(二).含有否定意义的副词或连词放在句首时。如:never, little, sel
dom, not, not only, not until, no sooner (…than), hardly (…when), rarely, scarcely, in no way等。

(1)hardly…when; scarcely…when…; no sooner…than… 可以用正常
语序 had hardly done when… did 或用倒装句式Hardly had + 主语+ done when… did 句式。hardly所在的句子用过去完成时。
The bell hardly had rung when the class began.= Hardly had the bell ru
ng when the class began.
No sooner had he arrived in Beijing than he began to work. (2)not only… but also 如连接两个成分时,不用倒装;连接句子
时, 前面的句子要用倒装。

German citizenship.

ngpu Bridge.
A. Were B. Should C. Would D. Will
(五).把副词so放在句首,表示前面所说的情况也适用于另一个人
