倒装句是英语语法中的一种特殊结构,用于强调句子中的某些成分。助动词的选择在倒装句中非常重要,包括do/does/did, has/have/had, will/would, can/could等,它们在不同的情况下表达不同的意义。例如,do/does/did用于主语为第三人称单数的情况,has/have/had用于现在完成时或过去完成时,will/would用于将来时或虚拟语气,can/could用于表达能力或虚拟语气。
倒装句的构成
倒装句是指将谓语动词的一部分提到主语之前,构成的特殊语序。一般来说,倒装句分为完全倒装和部分倒装两种形式。例如:
- 完全倒装:Not only did he finish his homework, but he also cleaned the room.
- 部分倒装:She never goes to bed before midnight. -> Never does she go to bed before midnight.
