2011英语四级语法讲义大全：倒装句二

二、半倒装: 主语与谓语的助动词交换位置称半倒装, 有以下数种情况:
1. 否定意义的词在句首, 句子半倒装, 例如: little, never, not, no, hardly, rarely, seldom

Never shall I forget you.

At no time was the man aware of what was happening.

Little did I understand what he said to me at that time.

2.       几对并列连词如not only…but also, hardly… when等连接两个并列句, 连词在句首, 前句半倒装, 后句不倒装:
