No more fuss about inversion


Listen Later

Inversion is used if we want to sound emphatic, dramatic or formal. In this podcast you'll hear the basics and most important hints to bear and mind along with some useful practice.
These are the examples mentioned in the podcast:
Not only is she a great dancer, but she also sings perfectly.
No sooner had the football match started than it began to snow heavily.
Never have I heard a politician say sorry
Not only did you forget to shut the window but you also forgot to lock the door
Not until you become a teacher, do you understand what it really means
Only when you leave home do you realize how expensive everything is
Hardly had I sat down when the train began to move
