Previous lesson
Inversions repetition
Time for the activitites: ~5-10 minutes
During this exercise, you will develop your formality and grammar skills
Write four sentences using adverbs to create inversions, one per type of inversion:
a unique situation ➜ never, rarely, and seldom
a short amount of time or almost not ➜ hardly, barely, no sooner, scarcely
understanding a situation ➜ only when, only then or only as soon as
not understanding a situation ➜ little
For example: I rarely watch tv ➜ Rarely do I watch tv (note: we had to add the helping verb “do”)
Move a negative or limiting adverb (rarely) to the beginning of the sentence
Add an auxiliary (helping) verb (do)
If necessary, change the tense of the verb
Add a subject (I)
