否定开头倒装句

请先看一道题：

a. I __________ seen such a good harvest!

b. __________ I seen such a good harvest.

A. have never, Never have B. never have, Have never

C. have never, Have never D. never have, Never have

此题应选A。这里考查的是否定词置于句首，句子用部分倒装的问题。一般说来，以下否定词位于句首，句子要用倒装(部分倒装—-用一般问句的形式)：seldom, never, little, few, hardly, not, not until, in no way, by no means, on no account, no longer 等。如：

Never does he come late. 他从不迟到。

Little did he know that the police were after him. 他一点也不知道在找他。

By no means shall I go there again. 我决不会再去那儿了。

Hardly had he arrived at the station when the train began to leave. 他一到车站，火车就开动了。

Few students did they see in the classroom. 他们在教室没看到几个学生。

Not a word did I ever say to him. 我从未对他说过一句话。

Not until all the fish in the river died did the villagers realize how serious the pollution was. 直到河里的鱼全死了，村民们才意识到污染是多么严重。

以否定词开头的倒装句（2）

特殊句型一：

Not+\"until...(状语或状语从句)\"+一般疑问句

He didn't go home until 6 o'clock.（正常句型）

Not until 6 o'clock did he go home.（倒装句型）

他直到六点才回家去。

John didn't do his lessons until his mother came back.（正常句型）

Not until his mother came back did John do his lessons.（倒装句型）

John直到他母亲回来才做功课。

注：

1）until his mother came back不能拆开。

2）Not until did John do his lessons his mother came back.（错）

3）not until...在强调句中，仍用陈述句型

公式：It was+not until...that+陈述句词序

Not until 6 o'clock did he go home...

It was not until 6 o'clock that he went home.（强调句）

他直到六点才回家去。

特殊句型二：

Never+before+一般疑问句

He has never seen the film before.（正常句型）

Never before has he seen the film.（倒装句型）

他以前从未看过这部电影。
