A question is a common case of Inversion:
Has he packed his suitcase?
Were they here?
 Not since
 Not until
 Only after
 Only when
 Only by
 Only if
Not until I saw them, did I believe they had come.
 Only if you have a nourishing diet will you have a
healthy life.
 Only after trying the recipe several times was she able to
get the whipped cream
In the following expressions, the inversion
comes in the second part of the sentence
(Main Clause):
 Were I you, I would tell the truth
 (If I were you)
 Had I been told, I would have asked before.
 (If I had been told)
 Had I known you were here, …
 (If I had known…)
 With SO (+) / NEITHER / NOR (-) to express
agreement:
 “I love turkey” - “ so do I”
 “I have been to Brazil” - “so have I”
 “I sent her a message” - “So did I”
“I can’t swim very well” - Neither can I
 “ I didn’t do the homework” - “Neither did I”
Outside the house was a big pine tree.
On the chair lay a cat
Here comes the bus
There she goes (not “There goes she” because
she is a pronoun not a noun.)
After Verbs of movement or Adverbial
Expressions of Place when they come at
the beginning of a sentence without a
comma or a Subject Pronoun.
