What is inversion ? Basically it is changing the order subject-verb as we do in questions ( Can I leave, please? ) but it’s not a question and it is used to emphasize.   Consider the following examples: 1.    They are made to one another, you know; both right on the same wavelength, and both of course love high voltage tourism. On their last journey, not only did they visit Syria and Yemen but Afghanistan as well . 2.     She lacks taste, you know. A bit tacky, everything she buys. Never have I seen her wearing a decent dress together with decent shoes. 3.      He was in such a hurry; believe me, he didn’t know what he was doing: swallowed two biscuits, gulped a cup of tea, and no sooner had he brushed his teeth than he jumped through the front window forgetting he was not at his mother’s cottage but at his girlfriend’s, on a seventh floor. Thank God in a jiffy arrived an ambulance [fronting, compare]. 4. ...
