FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Word order/syntax/inversion
Back
changes the order of the sentence to make the first word(s) stand out. Look out, in particular, for a technique called inversion, which takes what would usually be at the end of a sentence and places it at the start, e.g. “Horrified I was.” or “Being two-faced was the thing she was best at”. We pay attention to the word “Horrified” in the first example and “being two-faced” in the second. This is mainly due to the fact that they are so clearly placed in a strange position within the sentence.
