1．注意分清哪些情況要采用倒裝：

①down, up, in, out, away等表示位置移動的副詞位于句首時；②表示時間、地點(diǎn)的副詞或介詞短語位于句首時；not, never, hardly, seldom, little, scarcely, neither, nor等否定詞位于句首時；③用作頻率狀語的副詞often, always,every,other day，以及程度副詞so或表示“也”的so位于句首時；④only位于句首修飾狀語時；⑤as位于句首引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時；⑥虛擬條件句省略if時。例如：

Out rushed the children.

Look! Here come the bus!

Often do I go there with them.

So busy is she that she has no time to spare.

Were I you, I would take the position in that company.

2. 注意幾個容易出錯的場合：

①Not until位于句首引導(dǎo)狀語從句，或only位于句首修飾狀語從句時，從句不倒裝，主句倒裝。例如：

Not until he was eight, did he go to school.

Only when the war was over was he able to get happily back to work.

②以下情況的主謂都不倒裝：表示時間、地點(diǎn)、方位的副詞位于句首，其主語是人稱代詞時；so位于句首表示強(qiáng)調(diào)時；only位于句首不修飾狀語或狀語從句時。例如：

Out he rushed.

She is very beautiful and so she is.

Only this way can improve your English.

③as位于句首引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時主謂不倒裝，只須把表語提到as前，且作表語的單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞提到主語前時不帶冠詞。例如：

Tired as he felt, he kept on working.

Child as he was, he could work out the problem.

3．注意完全倒裝句的特點(diǎn)：

①謂語是系動詞；②主語是名詞，謂語是不及物動詞，如go, lie, com, run等；③句首是表示時間、地點(diǎn)、方向、方式的副詞或介詞短語，謂語是系動詞或半系動詞。例如：

On went her old brown jacket.

Down came the long brown waves!

Between Britain and Ireland, in the Irish Sea, lies the small Isle of Man.
