内容提要：英语句子的自然语序是主语在前，谓语动词在后。把谓语动词放在主语之前，就叫做倒装结构。

6. not only…but also…not only but also连接两个并列句子时，not only所在句子多用倒装，but also所在句子则不用倒装。neither…nor…连接两个句子时，两个句子都倒装。

Not only is he clever but also he works hard.

He was not quite himself. Neither did he eat anything nor could he fall asleep.

7. only修饰状语（副词，介词短语，状语从句）位于句首时。

Only this afternoon did I finish the novel.

Only in this way can you master English.

Only when you come will he be happy.

注意：only修饰主语时，不用倒装。

Only Tom knows this.

8.表示时间频率的状语副词位于句首，且表示强调时，用倒装语序。常用的频率状语副词有often, usually, always, now and then, once, many a time, every other day等。

Often did we warn them not to do so.

Every other day does he go to see her mother.

Many a time has he given me good advice.

9. 用语as引导的让步状语从句。可以把从句中的表语，状语或动词原形提前，被倒装的动词原形常于 may, might, will, would等连用，而这些词仍保留在原位置上。如表语是不带定语的单数可数名词，则前面的不定冠词 a（n）要省去。（严格说来，此种结构不算倒装）

Difficult as the work was, it was finished ahead of time.（Though the work was difficult, it was…）

Child as he is, he can speak good English. （Though he is a child, he can……）

Much as I like it, I will not buy it. （Though I like it very much, I …）

Hard as he tries, he can't make great progress.（Though he tries hard, he …）

Try as he might, Tom couldn't find a job. （Though he tried, Tom……）

注：以上句型中的as可改成though 引导的陈述句式。

10.用于省略if的虚拟条件状语从句中。将助动词 were, had 或should置于从句的主语之前。

Were I you, I would accept the invitation.

Had you been here earlier, you would have seen him.

Should it rain tomorrow, the crops would be saved.

Were it to rain tomorrow, the crops would be saved.

11.用于so…that… , such… that引导的结果状语从句中。当将 so+形容词/副词或 such置于句首时，需倒装。

So badly was he injured in the accident that he was sent to hospital for treatment.

Such was her cruelty that we all hated her.

特别注意：No matter how, however引导的状语从句中，不用倒装。

However difficult the problem is, I will try my best to work it out.
　　
　No matter how difficult the problem is, I will try my best to work it out.
