倒 装
定义: 在英语中,一般来讲主语在前,谓语在后,称为“陈述语序”。
但有时由于语法结构的需要或为了强调,却把谓语的全部或者一部分提到主语的前面,这种语序称为“倒装语序”。可分为:

全倒装:Here comes the bus.
半倒装:Do you like music?
全倒装

eg: Where is my bag?
What is your name?
there be 句型中
eg: There are many students in the classroom.
表达方位、时间的副词如:here/ there/ out/ in/ up/ down/ away/ off/ now/ then等放于句首时
eg: Here comes the bus.
Out rushed the children.
Now comes your turn.
但主语为人称代词时,主语和谓语的语序不变,即不使用倒装
Here it is.
Away she went.
作地点状语的介词短语放于句首时

eg: “Happy new year!” said Mary.
但主语为人称代词时,主语和谓语的语序不变,即不使用倒装
