Conclusion
一. 概念:
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, 另一种谓误在前,主语在后, 称为倒装语序。
二. 相关知识点精讲
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。
Our teacher came in.
In came our teacher.
这种倒装要求:主语必须是名词。主语是人称代词时,主语和谓语语序不变。
Here it is.
Away he went.
这类倒装句式一般只用一般现在时和一般过去时。
Here comes the bus.
Out rushed the boys.
倒装句分为:
完全倒装:整个谓语移至主语前面叫完全倒装。
部分倒装:只把助动词、系动词或情态动词放在主语之前叫部分倒装。
1. 当以there, here, out , in , up, down, away等副词开头的句子,为了起到强调的作用,可构成倒装句,只把副词放在句首,主语和谓语位置调换,不加助动词。
2. how, then, just, often表示时间的副词
放在句首,可构成倒装句,只把副词放
在句首,主语和谓语位置调换,不加助
动词。
Then came 8 years of the Anti Japanese
War.
3. 表地点状语的介词短语放在句首,要用
倒装句式,以示强调。
这种倒装句也是主谓直接调换位置,不
加助动词did, does或do.
Under a big tree ________, half asleep.
A. did sat a fat man B. a fat man sat
C. did a fat man sat D. sat a fat man
4. there放在句首时,要用倒装句式。
在“there + be”结构中的谓语动词有时不用be , 而用表示类似“存在”观念的其他不及物动词。
如:live, stand, come, lie, flow, enter, rise 和appear等。
There came shouts for help from the river.
There lies a large wheat field in front of the house.
Many years ago there lived an old man in the wooden house.
In front of the tower flews a stream.
5. so + 动词+主语
neither/ nor + 动词+主语
表示两人的同样一个情况时,只能表示一件事,即上、下句所使用的动词、时态要一致。否则要用so it is
