21、结构。有时为了强调某一部分而把谓语动词放在主语前面，形成倒装。将谓语动词全部移至主语之前的为全部倒装；只将助动词或情态动词移至主语之前的为部分倒装。1.全部倒装(1)介词短语作地点状语位于句首。例如：At the bus station was a teacher and two young students on their way to college.On a hill in front of them stood a great castle.(2)一些副词，如in,out,here,there,now,then,up,down,away,off等位于句首,后面的动词是be,come,
22、exist,fall,follow,go,lie,remain,seem,stand，而主语又是名词时。例如：The door opened and _(进来一个穿蓝衬衫的老师).（in came a teacher in his blue shirt）Here_(汽车来了）.(Here comes the bus).Then came the hour we had been looking forward to.注意：如果主语是人称代词，就不用倒装。例如：Away they went.Here he comes.,2.部分倒装(1)一些表示否定意义的副词位于句首时，主句的主语和谓语部分倒装
23、。这类副词主要有：at no time,by no means,few,hardly,scarcely,in no way,in vain,little,never,not,no longer,not until,nowhere,on no account,rarely,seldom,under no circumstances等。例如:In no way does the temperature equal the amount of heat.Not until all the demands had been turned down did the workers decide to g

25、nly+介词词组”，“only+状语从句”构成时，句子须倒装。例如：Only yesterday _(他才发现他的手表丢了）（did he find out that his watch was missing）.Only because there were some cancelled bookings _（他最终才搞到一些票）（did he get some tickets in the end）.Only in this way_（这个问题才能得以解决）。(can the problem be solved),(3)not only置于句首时，引起句子倒装当句中使用并列连接词not o
26、nlybut also时，如果将not only置于句首，句子要部分倒装。例如：Not only_(他写了歌词),but he also composed the music.（did he write the words to the song）Not only_(他向我收费过高),but he didnt do a good repair job either.(样卷)（Not only did he charge me too much）(4)在sothat句型中，若强调引出的表语或状语，经常将其放在句首。例如：So fat was he that he couldnt get thro
27、ugh the door.So _（他说话声音这么大）that students at the back heard him clearly.（loudly did he speak）,（5）neither,nor位于句首，可代表前文所述情况，后接代表动词的助动词，谓语其他部分承前省略。例如：Jack didnt like the movie,_(我也不喜欢）.（neither did I）。If we dont raise our interest rate,_（其他的银行也不）（nor will the other banks).He enjoys reading English,_(我也
28、是)。(so do I)(6)复合句中表示“刚一就”的结构位于句首，如“Hardlywhen”,“Scarcelywhen”，“No soonerthan”等。这种结构一般前半句用过去完成时，后半句用过去时。例如：Hardly _(他们刚走进教室)when the bell rang.(had they entered the classroom)Scarcely had he arrived when she started complaining.No sooner _（我们刚一到达山顶）we all sat down to rest.（had we reached the top of
29、the hill than）,（7）在as,though引导的让步状语从句中，一般将形容词、副词或名词等置于句首。例如：1）Small as the atom is,we can smash it.2）Old as/though he is,he works like a young man.尽管他很老了，但他工作起来却像个年轻人。Hard as/though he was working,he didnt pass the exam.虽然他一直在努力学习，但他还是没有通过那次考试。（8）虚拟语气中，条件句省略if时，需把had/were/should移至主语之前，形成倒装结构。,强调,强调就
30、是为了语义的需要，通过提前所要强调的结构或其他语法手段而达到强调的目的。常见的强调结构通常有以下几种。1.用do/did/does置于谓语前强调谓语结构。I do love my career as an English teacher.Susan did hurt her mothers feelings.2.用“it+is/was+所强调部分+that(who)+句子其他部分”强调谓语之外的任何想强调的句子成分（主语/宾语/表语/状语等）。He parked the car in the garden yesterday.3.对notuntil句型的强调结构是“It is/was not
