INVERSION AND EMPHASIS

1. Explain the use of inversion?

Inversion is the grammatical phenomenon of E language in which the predicate is placed before the subject. The two main cases of the use of the inversion are:

- Grammatical inversion: to construct certain type of sentences:

+ Interrogative sentences: Is he working?

+ Sentences are introduced by "here" or "there": Here is your ticket.

+ Exclamatory sentences expressing wishes: Come what may I never forgot you.

- Stylistical inversion: to make a certain word in the sentence more prominent.

Eg: up go prices; such is life; never shall I talk to him again.
