Task: describe a memorable or dramatic experience using inversion for emphasis.

Notice

  • Example: Never had I felt so nervous. Not only was the room packed, but the microphone also failed halfway through. So loud was the applause at the end that I could barely hear myself think.

Rule

Your task: Write 5–7 sentences describing a memorable experience. Use at least three inversion structures from this module (negative adverbial, conditional, or so/such) for dramatic effect.

Practice

  1. Planning line: what experience will you describe?
    Answer: Personal answer.
  2. Draft one sentence starting with “Never”.
    Answer: Personal answer, e.g. ‘Never had I felt so proud.’
