一、
完全倒装
1、here, there, now, then, thus等副词置于句首，谓语动词常用be, come, go, lie, run等表示来去或状态的动词。
e.g.
Here is your letter. 这是你的信。
Then came his mother. 那时他妈妈来了。
2、表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首，谓语表示运动的动词。
e.g.
Ahead sat an old woman. 前面坐着一个老奶奶。
3、完全倒装句型结构的主语必须是名词。如果主语是人称代词，不能完全倒装。
e.g.
Here he comes. 他来了。
Away they went. 他们走了。
二、
部分倒装
1. 句首为否定或半否定的词语时使用，如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, ao no time, in no way, not until 等。
e.g.
Nowhere will you find the answer to this question. 你怎么也不可能找到这个问题的答案的。
Never have I seen such a performance. 我从没见过这么糟糕的表演。
2. 用 not until 引出主从复合句时，主句倒装，从句不倒装。
e.g.
中文：直到孩子入睡后母亲才离开房间。
原句：The mother didn’t leave the room until the child fell asleep.
倒装句：Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room.
3. 用 so, neither, nor表示“也（不）”时，使用部分倒装。
e.g.
Tom can speak German, so can Jack. 汤姆会说德语，Jack也会。
If you won’t go, neither will I. 你不去的话，我也不。
注意：当so引出的句子是为了对前文内容加以肯定或证实时，意为“的确如此”，则不可用倒装结构。
e.g.
— It’s raining hard. 雨下得好大。
— So it is. 还真是。
4. only位于句首，并后跟副词、介词短语或从句等状语时，主句需要用倒装结构。
e.g.
Only in this way can you speak English well. 只有通过这种方法你才能更好地讲英语。
Only when he is seriously ill does he ever stay in bed. 他只有病得很重时，才会卧床休息。
5. as和though可引导倒装句
1）名词+as/though+主语+动词：此时的动词多为系统词，且句首名词不加冠词（即使有形容词）。
e.g.
Queen as she was, she was unhappy. 她虽是女王，也并不幸福。
Great teacher though he is, he can’t know everything. 尽管他是一名伟大的教师，也不可能什么都会。
2）形容词+as/thou+主语+动词：此时动词同样多为系动词。
e.g.
Beautiful though the necklace was, we thought it was over-priced. 那条项链虽然很好看，但我们还是认为价格太高。
3）副词+as/though+主语+动词
e.g.
Fast as you read, you can’t finish this book in tow days. 尽管你读的很快，还是不可能两天读完这本书。
4）动词原形+as/though+主语+动词：主语后的动词通常为may, might等情态动词或助动词。
e.g.
Dislike him as we may, we must acknowledge his greatness. 尽管我们不喜欢他，但也不能否认他的伟大。
5）分词+as/though+主语+动词
e.g.
Raining hard as it is, I’m going out for a walk. 尽管下着大雨，我还是要出去走一走。
6. Not only… but also…, Hardly… when…, No sooner… than…, so… that…等句型，可能需要倒装。
e.g.
Hardly had she gone out when a student came to visit her. 她刚出门，就有个学生来探望她。
So frightened was he that he didn’t dare to move an inch. 他被吓得动都不敢动。
7. 在虚拟语气条件句中，从句谓语动词有were, had, should等词，可将if省略，把were, had, should移到主语之前，采取部分倒装。
e.g.
中文：我是你的话，我就再试一次。
原句：If I were you, I would try it again.
倒装句：Were I you, I would try it again.
