An inverted sentence switches the placement of the verb before the subject of a sentence as if in a question. Usually in a sentence the subject always precedes the verb, but sometimes they can reverse this order, so that the verb comes before the subject. Inverted sentences are required with certain grammar structures, or used as a means of sentences stress or emphasis. Follow the instructions below to learn how and when inverted sentences are used in English. Here are some examples of inverted sentences.
Incorrect: Through the Golden Eagle Bridge passes thousands of vehicles every day.
(In the above sentence, the singular verb ‘passes’ is not referring to the singular Golden Eagle
Bridge but to the plural thousands of vehicles. Hence, the correct verb will be the plural pass.)
Correct: Through the Golden Eagle Bridge pass thousands of vehicles every day.
