当主语在谓语前出现时叫顺序(the natural order)。在某些情况下,我们可以把谓语成分放在主语前面,这种词序叫做倒装( the inverted order)。 倒装分两种:配合语法条例的倒装,叫grammatical inversion;配合强调语势的叫emphatic inversion。 语法上的倒装句是强制性的,包括下列 7 种: ⒈疑问句,如: Can you do it? How old are you? When did you know him? Why did you elect him as captain? Which of these apples do you prefer? 但疑问代词做主语时,不必倒置,如: Who is your English teacher? What happened last night? ⒉表示愿望的句子,如: May God bless you. Long live the king! ⒊There引导的句子,如: There are many cars on the road. There stand some big trees near the river. There is a security guard outside the bank. ⒋感叹句,如: How beautiful the flower is! What a smart boy you are! ⒌有连接词so, neither, nor的句子,如: Tom can ride a bicycle; so can I. |
