Rule for an Inverted Sentences


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. Example
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.
