• We sometimes change the usual subject-verb order in a statement to emphasize an idea, or to make the sentence structure more balanced.
• We can use the inverted order when a sentence begins with:
◎ an adverb like (1) ______, there or an adverbial phrase about a location.
◎ a word with a negative meaning like never, (2)________ and hardly;
◎ a phrase like not only.
