1 倒装句之全部倒装 全部倒装是指将句子中的谓语动词全部置于主语之前。此结构通 常只用与一般现在时和一般过去时。常见的结构有： 1) here, there, up, down, now, then, thus, out, away 等表示地点、方 向和时间的副词或者介词置于句首, 谓语动词常用 be, come, go, lie, run 。 There goes the bell. Then came the chairman. Here is your letter.

注意：上述全部倒装的句型结构的主 语必须是名词，如果主语是人称代词则不 能完全倒装。 × Here comes he. × Here he comes. × Away went they. × Away they went.

2 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动词或 be 动词倒装至主语之前。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。 否定或半否定的词语，如 no, not, never, nowhere, seldom, little, few, hardly, scarcely, rarely, at no time, in no way, not until… 以及 not only…but (also), no sooner…than, hardly… when, scarcely… when, no longer, by no means, on no account, in no case, under no circumstances 等位于句首时， 主句要倒装。
