IV. Grammar Review: Inversion.

Not only do women now have to climb the professional ladder but they are expected to be domestic divas too.

To put more emphasis on what is saying use “negative inversion”. The word order must be inverted after the following words:

1. Hardly ever…

2. Never / In no way…

3. Under no circumstances

4. Not only … but (also)…

5. Seldom / Rarely…

6. On no account / Not even once…

7. Few / Little…

The way to invert the subject and the verb is as follows:

Be / have / modal / auxiliary verb + subject + main verb.

Examples:

1. Never have I read such an interesting book.

2. Seldom do I drive during the rain.

3. Little did I know about the case.

4. Hardly ever will he visit us again.
