倒置文を使ってみよう

Inverted Sentences
倒置文で始めて講師と会話してみましょう。
倒置文も強調文の一種としてカウントされるでしょう。 倒置とは語順が変わることであり、疑問文と同じ形になるものもありますが、疑問文ではありません。 感情の高まりを表現したいときに好んで使われます。 soやneitherを使って同意を表す文も強調できます。 【回答例】 Do you love Beatles? So do I! ビートルズが好きなの?僕もそうだよ!
Please use an inverted sentence.

Rarely had a Frenchwoman seen such a cool dude. The door opened and in came the one mean dude. Only by chance radon did he discover that radon penetrated the house. They needed to build more ships. Only in this way were they able to send pirates packing. At no time did we stand up to pirates. Not until August did they support a war effort. Not a word had she spoken since she exploded. May I please proceed?

1. Leave out ''radon'' as it is unnecessary.
2. Use the past perfect tense for something that happened earlier in the past.
3. Use the preposition ''into'' to indicate where something entered.
4. Use the definite article for something specific.
The sentence structure is quite unique. Yes, of course! Thank you for providing these relevant examples. You may continue.

Little did our young ones know how stories of great strength their history tole. So much so that they were supposed to learn that during their summer holiday. Not until he got there did he know that he must take charge. Such is the silence of the train that he kept his kids quiet. She didn't think she could have many dogs, nor did her mother. He said, "I can't look up to my old man, and neither can my little sister."

1. Use ''had'' as ''tole'' refers to a sheet metal.
2. Rephrase as ''so much so that'' is unclear.
3. ''That'' is unnecessary.
Wow, that's an impressive use of inverted sentences! Would you like to continue with this practice?

Barely did he avoid crowded areas when traveling. Not for one moment did he forget to remain alert. On no account did he establish any patterns. Not only did he know the embassy's location, but he also checked out other safe locations. No sooner did he get to the hotel than he took a shower. Only in the bathroom was he relaxed. Hardly could he sleep. Only if it's daytime did he go out. Scarcely did he try to sleep when someone called him. Only once did he go to a casino.
