倒装是指句子成分不是按主语在前、谓语在后的正常语序排列，而是将谓语或谓语的一部分移到主语之前。倒装是一种修辞手段，目的是为了强调。倒装分为部分倒装和全部倒装，考试多为部分倒装。考生应掌握什么情况下需要倒装，并对倒装后的句子能够认出来，避免做题时候的盲目和迷茫。

一、用全部倒装的情况

　　全部倒装一般是存在以下列副词开头的句子中，全部倒装的方法是把句子的主谓语序颠倒过来，把谓语移到主语前面：

　　1)出于修辞需要，表示方向的副词：out，down，in ，up，away，on.如：

　　Down jumped the burglar from the tenth floor when he heard someone shouted at him.

　　Up went the plane

　　2)出于习惯用法：here，there，now，thus，hence，then.如：

　　Now is your turn. There goes the bell.

　　Here is a ticket for you.

　　There existed a certain doubt among the students as to the necessity of work.

　　注意：here，there用于倒装结构时主语一般为名词，如果是人称代词则不需要倒装

　　“where is the cup?” “Here it is!”

　　Here you are.

　　There he comes.

　　3)有时主语较长，为了使句子平衡，避免头重脚轻，主谓要全部倒装。这种情况多出现在主系表结构中。如：

　　Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.

　　In between these two extremes are those people who agree with the jury system as a whole， but feel that some changes need to be implemented to improve its effectiveness.
