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”。

When did you know him?
Why did you elect him as captain?

3、“There”引导的句子，如：

5、有连接词“so, neither, nor”的句子，如：

She can’t sing; neither can he.
John has never been late; nor have I.
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”连接的让步副词分句，如：
Small as the pen is, it is a powerful weapon.
However busy you are, you should spend some time reading Zaobao weekly.
