This is called inversion, and this advanced English grammar lesson will help you understand it, and use it in your own writing. You will find inversion used most often in dramatic writing or films set in the past. In this class, I will show you eleven common inversion examples including “never have I”, “only then did I”, “not only is”, “little did I know”, “no sooner had I”, and more.
