1. not until 引导时间状语(从句)时的倒装;

误区提醒1) Not until the early years of the 19th century___ what heat is
A. man did know B. man knew C. didn''t man know D. did man know
解析:答案为D.否定词not在句首,要求用部分倒装的句子结构。
2) Do you know Tom bought a new car?
I don''t know, ___.
A. nor don''t I care B. nor do I care
C. I don''t care, neither D. I don''t care also
解析:答案为B.句中的nor引出部分倒装结构,表示"也不"。由 so, neither, nor引导的倒装句,表示前一情况的重复出现。其中, so用于肯定句, 而 neither, nor 用在否定句中。
英语最基本的语序是主语在前,谓语动词在后。但有时由于句子结构的需要或表示强调,就要采用倒装形式。英语倒装分为完全倒装和部分倒装,完全倒装(Full Inversion)即为谓语部分完全放在主语之前,如:Now comes your turn;部分倒装(Partial Inversion)即把助动词、情态动词、be动词置于主语之前。
英语倒装句的例句
1、Not only did he come,but also he brought us good news.
I. 完全倒装 1. 用于 there be 句型. 2. 用于“ here ( there, now, then )+不及物动词+主语”的句型中,或以 in, out, up, down, away 等副词开头的句子里,以表示强调. 注意: ( 1 )主语是代词时,主语和谓语不倒装. ( 2 ) here , there 放在句首通常用一般现在时. 3. 当句首状语为表示地点的介词词组. 4. 表语置于句首时,倒装结构为“表语+连系动词+主语”: ( 1 )形容词+连系动词+主语 Present at the meeting were Mr Li, Mr Wang and many other teachers. 出席会议的有李老师、王老师和其他很多老师. ( 2 )过去分词+连系动词+主语 Gone are the days when we used foreign oil. 我们使用洋油的日子一去不复返了. ( 3 )介词短语+ be +主语 Among the goods are books, exercise-books, pens and some other things. 在所有的货物中有书、练习册、钢笔和其他东西. 5. 用于 so, neither , nor 开头的句子,表示重复前句的部分内容.原句的谓语应与前句的谓语的时态、形式相一致. 例如:You can't speak French. Neither can she. 你不会说法语,她也不会. 6. 为了保持句子平衡,或为了强调表语或状语,或是上下文紧密衔接时. 例如: They arrived at a small village, in front of which was a big river. 他们来到一个小村庄,村庄前面是条大河.
