INVERSION

The order of words in which the predicate is placed before the subject is called inversion.

Inversion is full when the whole predicate is placed before the subject or partial when only the auxiliary or modal verb precedes the subject.

Full inversion is used in sentence with the introductory there.

Full inversion occurs in declarative sentences beginning with adverbial modifiers of place if the subject of the sentence is a noun and the predicate is an intransitive verb.

Full inversion takes place when the sentence begins with the words here, there, now, thenif the subject is a noun.

Full inversion is used when the words up, off, out, down,open the sentence but only when the subject is a noun.

Full inversion is found with the verb to say, to answer, to reply,used after direct speech if the subject is a noun and the verb has no object.

Partial inversion takes place in sentences beginning with such words as never, seldom, rarely, little, in vain, hardly, scarcely, not only, nor, neither, no sooner than, nowhere, never (before), not (even) once, on no account, only by, only in this way, only then, hardly (ever)…when, no sooner …than, not until/till, in no way, in/under no circumstances, not since.

EMPHASIS

We can put emphasis on certain words or parts of a sentence with:

· It is/was … who/which/that

The dog’s barking didn’t wake me up, the alarm clock did.

It wasn’t the dog’s barking which/that woke me up, it was the alarm clock.

Note: we use who, which or that to put emphasis on the subject. We normally use that to put emphasis on the object or the adverbial phrase.

· All (that) = the only thing

All (that) he did was call me to say goodbye.

· What

I need a holiday. (object)

What I need is a holiday.

OR A holiday is what I need.

· What … do (to put emphasis on verbs)

Greg updated the files.

What Greg did was (to) update the files.

· Question word + ever (usually shows surprices)

Where ever did you find this old map?

Note:Question words+ ever (except for why) can be written as one word. E.g. Whoever told you …? We also use ever to put emphasis on negative sentences.

Nobody everexplained this to me.

· We use do/does/did + bare infinitive in the present simple, past simple or the imperative to give emphasis.
