INVERSION AND QUESTION TAGS

With live and stand we can start the sentence with an adverb of place.

This is a formal usage.

  • In this house lived Charles Dickens.
  • On a hill outside the town stands the castle

With be we can begin the sentence with now.

  • Now is the best time to visit the Channel Islands.

Inversion in conditional sentences

We can use clauses with inversion instead of certain kinds of if clauses. Compare:

  • It would be a serious setback, if the talks were to fail
  • It would be a serious setback, were talks to fail.
  • If you should need more information, please telephone our main office.
  • Should you need more information telephone our main office.
  • If Alex had asked, I would have been able to help.
  • Had Alex asked, I would have been able to help.

Note

The sentences with inversion are rather more formal than those with 'if.

Notice that in negative clauses with inversion, we don't use contracted forms:

  • Had he not resigned, we would have been forced to sack him.
  • (not Hadn't he...)

Inversion in comparisons with 'as' and 'than'

  • The cake was excellent, as was the coffee. (or ...as the coffee was.)
  • I believed, as did my colleagues, that the plan would work. (or ...as my colleagues did...)
  • Research shows that children living in villages watch more television than do their counterparts in inner city areas, (or ...than their counterparts do...)
