Advanced English Grammar: Word Order Inversions – “Never have I”, “Little did I”…

Have you ever read a sentence like “Little did I know…” or “Never have I seen…” and wondered why the word order looks so strange? This is called inversion, and this advanced English grammar lesson will help you understand it, and use it in your own writing. You will find inversion used most often in dramatic writing or films set in the past. In this class, I will show you eleven common inversion examples including “never have I”, “only then did I”, “not only is”, “little did I know”, “no sooner had I”, and more. After the lesson, try writing your own dramatic sentence in the comments using one of these structures.
