POSITION OF ADVERBS
It is very essential to use Adverb near the word which it modifies. If it is used
at the wrong place, the meaning of the sentence may change.
Examples:
1) Only, She saw my new dress. (के वल उसने ककसी और ने नहीं |)
2) She only saw my new dress. (के वल देखा, और कुछ नहीं ककया |)
3) She saw only my new dress. (के वल मेरी dress, ककसी और की नहीं |)
4) She saw my only new dress. (एकमात्र dress जो मेरे पास थी |)
5) She saw my new dress only. (के वल dress, पुस्तक या कुछ और नहीं |)
POSITION OF ADVERBS
(C) Adverb of Place/ Time is also written at the end of the sentence.
Examples:
1) He went there. (Adverb of Place)
2) He came yesterday. (Adverb of Time)
POSITION OF ADVERBS
(D)
(i) If in a sentence Adverbs of (Manner + Place + Time) are given together.
Its right sequence of writing is Manner + Place + Time
1) He sang in the town hall well last night. (×)

USES OF INVERSION
1) When a sentence starts with Adverbs “Seldom, never, hardly, scarcely,
rarely”, we use Partial Inversion in the sentence.
Example:
1) Seldom have I seen such a beautiful sight.
Adverb + Helping Verb + Subject + Main Verb
LAW OF INVERSION
2) When a sentence starts with ‘No sooner’, Partial Inversion is used in it.
Example:
1) No sooner had the thief seen the police than he ran away.
No sooner + Helping Verb (Had) + Subject + V3
2) No sooner did the thief see the police than he ran away.
No sooner + Helping Verb (Did) + Subject + V1
LAW OF INVERSION
3) If a sentence starts with “Only” and after it there is use of any
Adverb or Adverbial Expression (Only yesterday, only the day
before yesterday, only last month, only after a year, only in a few
countries, only in this way, only then etc.), we use Partial Inversion
after it.
➢ Only + Adverb / Adverbial Expression + Partial Inversion
Example:
1) Only by working hard did he get success.
Only + Adv. Expression + Helping Verb + Sub. + Main Verb
2) Only yesterday did he come.
LAW OF INVERSION
10) When two Verbs are joined by using Not only and but
also and the sentence starts with Not only.
In this case after Not only, Partial Inversion is used.
Example:
1) Not only did she read but she also wrote.
Not only + H.V. + Sub. + M.V.
LAW OF INVERSION
11) Generally in Direct Narration, First of all Reporting Verb
is given and then Reported Speech is given.
But in case Reported Speech is written first and then Reporting Verb,
the Subject of the Reporting Verb is Noun then in this case in “Reporting
Verb” Inversion is used.
Example:
1) “Let us go to the movies” said Mohan. (Inversion is used)
In the same situation when the Reporting Verb is Pronoun, no inversion is used.
1) ‘Let us go to the movies’ He said, (No Inversion is used)
