倒装句
句子在以下场合往往用倒装的句序:
1.以here, there开头的句子。
Here comes the bus.
2.以so, nor, neither引导的省略句。
如果前一个句子是肯定句,后边用so来引导倒装,这种句子是部分倒转:助动词+主语+正常语序。如果前一个句子是否定句,后边用nor或neither引导,结构同so.倒装句在时态上应与前面的句子保持一致,助动词的单复数应与主语保持一致。

I like watch football matches, so does my brother.
If you won't go, neither will he.
My sister doesn't like potatoes, nor do I.
3.“only +状语(从句)”,否定或具有否定意义的词位于句首作状语或引导状语从句的句子。
