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”。
语法上的倒装句是强制性的,包括下列 7 种:
⒊“There”引导的句子,如:
● There are many cars on the road.
● There stand some big trees near the river.
● There is a security guard outside the bank.
