2. so作“也”講時，引導的句子用倒裝語序，例如：

　　He went to the film last night. So did I. 他昨天晚上去看電影了，我也去了。

　　如不作“也”講而只起連詞作用，表示一種結果的意思，句子就要用正常語序。例如：

　　His mother told him to go to the film. So he did. 他母親叫他去看電影，他就去了。

　　“He is a tall thin man.” “So he is.” “他又高又瘦?！?“確實如此?！?/p>

　　3. 某些讓步狀語從句往往把表語提到主語前面或放在句首，以構成倒裝結構。例如：

　　No matter how interesting the book is，he doesn't like to read it.不管這本書多有趣，他都不想看。

　　However hard a solid may be，we can change its shape. 不管一個固體有多硬，我們都可以改變其形狀。

　　Young as he is, he knows a lot. 雖然他年輕，卻知道很多東西。

　　4. 在虛擬語氣中，如果非真實條件句省略if，須將主句中的were, had和should等助動詞和主語顛倒形成部分倒裝。例如：

　　Were he younger (= If he were younger), he would learn skating. 假如他年輕一些，他就會去學溜冰。

　　Should they forget (= If they should forget) to bring a map with them, they would get lost in the woods

　　如果他們忘記帶一張地圖的話，他們就會在深林里迷路。

　　Had they realized (= If they had realized) how important the task was, they wouldn’t have refused to

　　accept it. 假如他們認識到這個任務是多么重要的話，他們就不致于拒絕接受這項任務。
