英語句子有兩種語序：自然語序和倒裝語序。主語在謂語之前時，叫自然語序;如果把謂語動詞放在主語前面，這就是倒裝語序。倒裝語序又可分為全部倒裝和部分倒裝。
全部倒裝
Out rushed the student.
Here comes the No.9 bus.
部分倒裝
Will you go to a show with me tonight?
Have you seen any good show lately?
用法：
1.用于疑問句
Do you need me now, professor?
2.用于以引導(dǎo)詞there開頭的固定倒裝句型中
Long long ago, there lived in Hangzhou a girl called Aqiao.
3.用于以now, then, next, out, in, up, down, away, there, here等副詞開頭的句子里。
There goes your dinner.
4.含有否定意義的副詞或連詞，hardly, never, seldom, not, not only, little, no sooner than, not until等放在句首
No sooner had I started to type my paper than the telephone rang.
5.only所修飾的副詞、介詞短語或狀語從句放在句首時
Only when that fails shall I leave the ship, but not before that, nor shall any of my crew.
6.副詞so放在句首
He is a good student. So is Xiao Wu.
7.neither，nor放在句首
He can't see air. Nor can I, nor can you, nor can anybody.
8.虛擬結(jié)構(gòu)中的條件從句省去if時，句中的were，had，should須移至主語之前。
例如：
Should you be prepared to reduce the price by 5%, we would place our order with you.
9.在某些讓步從句里：
Come what may, I always stand by you.
Be it fine or not, I must go.
Young as she was, she did the work well.
10.在某些表示祝愿的句子里：
May you never forget me!
Long live People's China!
