倒裝句的種類
儅主語在謂語前出現(xiàn)時叫順序(the natural order)。在某些情況下,我們可以把謂語成分放在主語前麪,這種詞序叫做倒裝( the inverted order)。
倒裝分兩種:配郃語法條例的倒裝,叫“grammatical inversion”;配郃強(qiáng)調(diào)語勢的叫“emphatic inversion”。
語法上的倒裝句是強(qiáng)制性的,包括下列 7 種:
1、疑問句,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?
但疑問代詞做主語時,不必倒置,如:
Who is your English teacher?
What happened last night?
2、表示“願望”的句子,如:
May God bless you.
Long live the king!
3、“There”引導(dǎo)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.
4、感歎句,如:
How beautiful the flower is!
What a smart boy you are!
5、有連接詞“so, neither, nor”的句子,如:
Tom can ride a bicycle; so can I.
She can't sing; neither can he.
John has never been late; nor have I.
6、省略連詞“if”的條件副詞分句,如:
Were I you, I would not do such a thing.
Should the machine break down again, send it back to us.
Had you worked harder, you would have passed.
7、“as, however”連接的讓步副詞分句,如:
Small as the pen is, it is a powerful weapon.
However busy you are, you should spend some time reading Zaobao weekly.
