Boleh. Walaupun kurang baku, kadang-kadang modifier di tempatkan di awal kalimat untuk memberi penekanan terhadap modifier tersebut. Dalam hal ini, kita perlu menginversi kata bantu ke depan subject kalimat.

1. In the swimming pool at 4 pm. yesterday was Yeyes swimming.

2. In the refrigerator is the milk.
