當主語在謂語前出現(xiàn)時叫順序（the natural order）。在某些情況下，我們可以把謂語成分放在主語前面，這種詞序叫做倒裝（ the inverted order）。
倒裝分兩種：配合語法條例的倒裝，叫“grammatical inversion”；配合強調(diào)語勢的叫“emphatic inversion”。
語法上的倒裝句是強制性的，包括下列 7 種：
�、币蓡柧洌纾�
● Can you do it?
● How old are you?
● When did you know him?
● Why did you elect him as captain?
● Which of these apples do you prefer?
但疑問代詞做主語時，不必倒置，如：
● Who is your English teacher?
● What happened last night?
�、脖硎�“愿望”的句子，如：
● May God bless you.
● Long live the king!
⒊“There”引導(dǎo)的句子，如：
● There are many cars on the road.
● There stand some big trees near the river.
● There is a security guard outside the bank.
�、锤袊@句，如：
● How beautiful the flower is!
● What a smart boy you are!
�、涤羞B接詞“so, neither, nor”的句子，如：
● Tom can ride a bicycle; so can I.
● She can't sing; neither can he.
● John has never been late; nor have I.
⒍省略連詞“if”的條件副詞分句，如：
● Were I you, I would not do such a thing.
● Should the machine break down again, send it back to us.
● Had you worked harder, you would have passed.
�、�“as, however”連接的讓步副詞分句，如：
● Small as the pen is, it is a powerful weapon.
● However busy you are, you should spend some time reading Zaobao weekly.
談過了語法上的倒裝句，現(xiàn)在談強調(diào)的倒裝句。
