英语最基本的词序是主语在谓语动词的前面。如果将句子的主语和谓语完全颠倒过来，这称之为完全倒装。如果只将助动词或情态动词移至主语之前，谓语的其他部分仍保留在主语的后面，这称之为部分倒装。
A. 完全倒装
完全倒装是将谓语的全部放在主语之前，此结构通常只用于一般现在时和一般过去时两种。
On her left sat her husband. 她左边坐着她丈夫。
Here is the book you want. 你要的书在这儿。
Down went the small boat. 小船沉下去了。
B. 部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分，如助动词或情态动词，移至主语之前。
Only by working hard can one succeed. 只有努力才能成功。
Never have I seen her before. 我以前没见过她。
提示：如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词，则需添加助动词do, does或did，并将其置于主语之前。
Well do I remember the day I joined the League.入团的那一天，我记忆犹新。
Little did I think that he could be back alive 我没有想到他竟能活着回来。
