倒装句的用法,倒装是一种语法手段,用于表示一定的句子结构或强调某一句子成分。倒装的原因一方面是语法结构的需要;另一方面是强调而引起的倒装。
倒装句有两种:全部倒装和部分倒装
1.全部倒装,即把整个谓语放到主语之前(是整个谓语动词,而非助动词)。
Here comes the car!
车来了!
Round the corner walked a large policeman.
拐角处走着一个大个子警察。
2.部分倒装即只把谓语的一部分(如助动词、情态动词等)放到主语前。
Not until yesterday did little John change his mind.
直到昨天小约翰才改变主意。
Never have I seen such a performance.
我从来没有看过这样的表演。

3.“only+状语从句”“only+副词”“only+介词短语”置于句首引起的倒装句。
副词only置于句首,强调方式状语、条件状语、地点状语、时间状语等状语时,主句要进行部分倒装,即只将情态动词、助动词和系动词放在主语前。
注意:
如果被only所强调的状语为状语从句,则该状语从句不倒装,只对主句进行倒装。例如:
Only in a metropolitan was it possible to buy a new mobile phone.
只有在大城市里才能买到新手机。
