表语提前的倒装句,根据不同的词性做表语,有下面几种形式,举例解释如下:
1、 形容词作表语前置
Very important in the peasant life is a TV weather report.
Present at the meeting were professor Smith and his students.
2、 分词作表语前置
Visiting the Great Wall were two American college students.
Gone are the days when we had to be in the mercy of weather.
3、 介词短语作表语前置
On the second floor is a big cinema.
注意: 表方位的介词短语放句首, 主语为名词时,才能够完全倒装。
4、 As /though引导的让步状语从句
Tired as he is, he offers to help me.
Student as he is, he doesn't study hard.
5、 So/ Such位于句首的倒装句
So angry was he that he couldn't speak.
Such an angry boy was he that he couldn't speak.
