1、当句首状语为否定词或带有否定意义的词语时，这个句子就需要部分倒装 这类词语有hardly, scarcely, rarely, seldom, never, few,little, less, at no time, by no means, in no case, under no circumstance, in no way,on no account, on no consideration, no longer, not only等。 eg. He never smokes. 他从来不抽烟。 Never does he smoke. eg.

2、当句首为only加状语的时候，这个句子需要部分倒装。 eg. Only with you can I feel happy. eg. 只有当你来了这，我们才可以开始会议。 Only when you come, can we start the
meeting.
3、so......that 结构中的so位于句首时，常引起部分倒装 eg. He runs so fast that I can"t catch up with him. 他跑得实在是太快了，以致于我 都没有办法追上他。 So fast does he run that I can"t catch up with him. eg. The moon was so bright that the flowers bright as by day. 皓月当空，花朵就像白天那样的鲜艳。 So bright was the moon that the flowers bright as by day.
4、句子开头的as 处在第二个单词的位置上，表示虽然的意思。 eg. Although I am young, I can live by myself. 虽然我很小但是我却能养活自己了。 Young as I am, I can live by myself. eg. Although she is a girl, she can support the hole family. 虽然她是个女孩，但 是她却可以养活整个家庭的人。Girl as she is, she can support the hole family. eg. Although I like music very much,.... Much as I like music,.....

虚拟语气的倒装形式怎么用?请看典型考题：
__________ your address，I would have written to you.
A. Did I know B. Were I to know
C. Had I known D. If I should know
此题应选 C。这是虚拟语气的倒装形式。当虚拟条件句中含有 were，had，should，could等动词时，可以将if省略，然后将 were，had，should，could 等词移至句首：
1. If he should fail，he would kill himself.
→Should he fail，he would kill himself.
万一失败，他就会自杀。
2. If I were you，I would do it at once.
→Were I you，I would do it at once.
假若我是你，我就会马上做。
3. If I could do it，I would.
→Could I do it，I would.
要是我能做此事，我一定会做。
4. If he had seen you yesterday，he would have asked you about it.
→Had he seen you yesterday，he would have asked you about it.
他昨天要是看到了你，他就会问你这事了。
顺便说一句，以上移至句首的 had不一定是助动词，如果是实义动词也可倒装：
If he had money，he would buy a car.
→Had he money，he would buy a car.
他要是有钱，他就会买一辆小车。
