"倒装句"主要指的是谓语语序的倒装,当然也有宾语和表语语序的倒装。倒装句分为两种，部分倒装（将谓语的一部分提到主语之前）和全部倒装（将谓语的全部提到主语之前）。
一、 部分倒装
部分倒装是把be动词、情态动词、助动词放到主语之前。如果句子中没有这些词,要在主语之前加助动词do / does / did等,而把原来的谓语动词变成原形放在主语之后。部分倒装主要有以下几种情况:
1. 句首状语为否定词或半否定词的句子。
这类词或短语主要有never, neither, nor, little, seldom, 1, hardly, 2, no sooner, not only, in no way, at no time, few, not, no等, 如:
not a word did i say to him.
never have i found him so happy.
little does he care about what i said.
i can't swim. neither can he.
no sooner had he gone to bed than he fell asleep.
