inversion | conditionals | adverbials | advanced English grammar
In today's lesson I am going to teach you how to invert your sentences. Inversion is used to make what we say and write more formal and emphatic. But! Be careful. Overusing inversion will sound too dramatic and out of place. Many times this grammar is only seen in literary contexts.
