1、英语倒装句倒装有两种:一将主语和谓语完全颠倒过来,叫做完全倒装。如:In came a man with a white beard. 二只将助动词( 包括情态动词) 移至主语之前, 叫做部分倒装。如:Only once was John late to class.英语句子的倒装一是由于语法结构的需要而进行的倒装,二是由于修辞的需要而进行的倒装。前一种情况,倒装是必须的 ,否则就会出现语法错误 ;后一种情况, 倒装是选择性的,倒装与否只会产生表达效果上的差异。一完全倒装的四种主要类型(有 地 钻状 洞动)1. here 和 there、now、 then 位于句首时的倒装表示地点的 here
2、 和 there 位于句首时,其后用完全倒装形式。这类倒装句的谓语通常是动词 be 和 come, go 等表示移动或动态的不及物动词:Heres Tom. 汤姆在这里。Theres Jim. 吉姆在那儿。Here comes the bus. 公共汽车来了。There goes the bell. 铃响了。There goes the last train. 最后一班火车开走了。【注意】(1) 以上倒装句中的谓语动词 come 和 go 不能用进行时态,即不能说Here is coming the bus。(2) 若主语为代词,则不倒装:Here I am. 我在这儿。/ 我来了。Here
3、it comes. 它来了。(3) 其中的动词有时也可能是 stand, lie, live 等表示状态的动词( 表示存在):There stood a desk against the wall. 靠墙放着一张书桌。Once upon a time there lived a man known by the name of Beef. 从前有个人名叫比夫。2. away 和 down 等位于句首时的倒装地点副词 away, down, in, off, out, over, round, up 等位于句首时,其后用完全倒装语序。这类倒装句的谓语通常表示动态的不及物动词:Away went

5、eople was his friend Jim. 他的朋友吉姆就在这些人当中。By the window sat a young man with a magazine in his hand. 窗户边坐着一个年轻人,手里拿着一本杂志。【注意】在表语置于句首的这类倒装结构中,要注意其中的谓语应与其后的主语保持一致,而不是与位于句首的表语保持一致。比较:In the box was a cat. 箱子里是一只猫。In the box were some cats. 箱子里是一些猫。4. 分词和不定式置于句首的倒装有时为了强调,可将谓语部分的现在分词、过去分词或不定式置于句首,从而构成倒装:Bu
