INVERSIONS

TODAY’S
LESSON
We are going to practice questions
and affirmative sentences in English
in order to know how to formulate
them.
ORDER OF SENTENCES IS…
SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECTS
WHAT IS AN INVERSION?
WHENEVER WE CHANGE THE ORDER SUBJECT + VERB
Do you know
what time is it?
We only indicate the inversion (showing it is a
1. QUESTIONS question) once. If we change all the verbs in
the question, it is wrong. WE ONLY SHOW IT
IN ENGLISH IS A QUESTION ONCE.
QUESTIONS IN ENGLISH… BUT there is an
exception

Why did you go there and why did you call me?

QUESTIONS
IN ENGLISH

TWO INVERSIONS ARE CORRECT


BE CAREFUL
WITH THE
EXCEPTIONS
AND BUT OR
Let’s practice
1. Excuse me, could you please tell me where is Mercadona?
2. Do you know how did I go to Paris?
3. How many times do I have to tell you she didn’t come?
4. How much do you think cost the iphone?
5. Did he tell you how much was the hotel?
6. Where do you come from and why are you here?
7. Don’t you know why inmigrants do come to Spain?
8. How often Sara go to the gym?
9. How many times does Sara spend in the gym and why does she do it?
10. Have you ever thought about the places would you go if you were rich?
2. AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE SENTENCES

Inversions in +/- sentences never exist. Do


always follow the order of English: S+ V

IS THIS EXAMPLE ALRIGHT?

I want to know where is your brother


Let’s practice
I always wonder why would you go to the party.

She asked me when was I going to call her.

I was wondering why did you move to Europe.


EXAMPLES OF
SENTENCES I think about how does he manage to do
everything.
He did not day where did David live.

I would be glad if you told me why did you call


John yesterday.
DOUBTS?
