When use inversion
1)Question

2)Use a negative adverb or adverb phrase at the beginning of the sentence
Some negative adverbs and adverb phrases that we often use with inversion:
Hardly, never, seldom, rarely, only then, no sooner, scarcely, only later, not only…but, nowhere, little, only in this way, in no way, on no account
Not only does he love chocolate and we’re but he also smokes.⭕️
⭕️ Seldom have I seen such beautiful work
*this sentence emphasizes what beautiful work it is
⭕️I have seldom seen such beautiful work
* this sentence is normal with no special emphasis

  • use inversion when the adverb modifies the whole phrase and not when it modifies the noun
    ⭕️hardly anyone passed the exam(No inversion)
  • in the following expressions, the inversion comes in the second part of the sentence:
    Not until, not since, only after, only when, only by
  • وقتایی که میخوایم خیلی تمرکز کنم روی جمله و تعجبم رو نشون بدم
    ⭕️Not until I saw John with my own eyes did I really believe he was safe
    ⭕️Only by working extremely hard could we afford

3)can use inversion instead of “if” in conditionals with “had” “were” and “should”.
had : conditional type3
Were : conditional type2
Should : conditional type1
⭕️
normal conditional:
If I had been there, this problem wouldn’t have happened
Conditional with inversion:
Had I been there, this problem wouldn’t have happened

4)use inversion if we put an adverbial expression of place at the beginning on the sentence.
ادامه جمله + سابجکت+ فعل+ مکان
