Transcript
| 00:00 | Hi everyone . I'm jennifer from english with jennifer in | |
| 00:04 | this lesson , we're going to talk about inversion . | |
| 00:07 | Do you know what it means to invert something ? | |
| 00:11 | I'll give you a hint . Mhm . What did | |
| 00:16 | I do with the hourglass ? I inverted it when | |
| 00:23 | you invert the hourglass , the sand pours down into | |
| 00:26 | the bottom part . How about this photo ? Can | |
| 00:33 | you see it properly ? Probably not . Let me | |
| 00:37 | invert it all rotate it and put it right side | |
| 00:41 | up . Now , can you see it in grammar | |
| 00:47 | ? If we invert two parts of a sentence , | |
| 00:50 | we reversed their positions , you already know how to | |
| 00:53 | do this ? We invert the subject and verb when | |
| 00:56 | we form questions . Have you ever seen such clear | |
| 01:01 | blue water ? Yes , I have . I've seen | |
| 01:06 | beautiful water in the Bahamas . We can also invert | |
| 01:15 | the subject and verb in sentences that use negative adverbs | |
| 01:19 | . We do this when the negative adverb is in | |
| 01:22 | the initial position , that means it starts the sentence | |
| 01:26 | . We don't usually do this in spoken english . | |
| 01:30 | It's more typical of written english because it's a more | |
| 01:33 | formal structure . So you can expect to see in | |
| 01:36 | version with negative adverbs more in academic writing and literary | |
| 01:42 | writing . Yeah . Mhm . Let's practice together . | |
| 01:52 | Look at this sentence first , identify the negative adverb | |
| 02:00 | never right will move it to the beginning of the | |
| 02:04 | sentence . Next will switch will invert the subject and | |
| 02:09 | verb only the first part of the verb will use | |
| 02:13 | the helping verb first . So what's the new sentence | |
| 02:20 | ? Never have I seen such clear beautiful water . | |
| 02:31 | Try this one . Start with the negative adverb , | |
| 02:38 | invert the subject and verb . Is there a helping | |
| 02:42 | verb ? It's a modal verb . Put that first | |
| 02:48 | , then the subject . And what's our new sentence | |
| 02:56 | hardly ? Could I believe that such beauty existed underground | |
| 03:04 | . Mhm . Okay . Next one . What are | |
| 03:12 | we going to start with ? Seldom there's no helping | |
| 03:19 | verb here . So we'll need to get one if | |
| 03:22 | we change this into a question , what helping verb | |
| 03:25 | would we use do ? That's what we need verb | |
| 03:33 | plus subject . Yeah . And what's the new sentence | |
| 03:41 | ? Seldom do people have the time to appreciate nature | |
| 03:45 | in our busy world . Mm Try this one . | |
| 03:53 | It's similar to the last one . Yeah . Mhm | |
| 04:05 | . Rarely do I have the chance to unplug and | |
| 04:08 | enjoy complete solitude . Here's your next challenge . Let | |
| 04:23 | me give you a hint . Not any changes to | |
| 04:27 | know . Yeah . Do you think you have it | |
| 04:34 | under no circumstances ? Should you touch fragile stalactites in | |
| 04:39 | a cave ? Here's the last sentence and your final | |
| 04:46 | challenge . Before I give you the answer , I'll | |
| 04:56 | explain that with conditional sentences that use only if or | |
| 05:01 | only when we use inversion in the main clause , | |
| 05:05 | not the if clause . I see two possible variations | |
| 05:15 | . Only if the guy tells you it's safe . | |
| 05:17 | Can you take photos on this tour ? Only when | |
| 05:24 | the guy tells you it's safe . Can you take | |
| 05:27 | photos on this tour ? That's all for now . | |
