    This document provides examples of sentences using subject-verb inversion with adverbs such as hardly, never, seldom, rarely, only then, not only...but, no sooner, scarcely, only later, nowhere, little, only in this way, in no way, and on no account. The adverbs are used to modify the sentence structure by placing the subject after the verb instead of the typical subject-verb order.

    HARDLY

    NEVER

    Hardly had I got into bed when the telephone rang.


    Never had she seen such a beautiful sight before.

    SELDOM

    Seldom do we see such an amazing display of dance.

    RARELY

    Rarely will you hear such beautiful music.

    ONLY THEN

    Only then did I understand why the tragedy had


    happened.

    NOT ONLY ...


    BUT

    Not only does he love chocolate and sweets but he


    also smokes.

    NO SOONER

    No sooner had we arrived home than the police rang


    the doorbell.

    SCARCELY

    Scarcely had I got off the bus when it crashed into the
    back of a car.

    ONLY LATER
    NOWHERE
    LITTLE
    ONLY IN THIS
    WAY
    IN NO WAY
    ON NO
    ACCOUNT

    Only later did she really think about the situation.


    Nowhere have I ever had such bad service.
    Little did he know!
    Only in this way could John earn enough money to
    survive.
    In no way do I agree with what you're saying.
    On no account should you do anything without asking
    me first.
