only + 状语与主谓倒装
Only in this way ____ progress in your English. A. you make B. can you make C. you be able to make D. will you able to make(全国高考)
答案为 B。但是,我不明白为什么情态动词 can 要位于主语 you 之前。
only + 副词, only + 介词短语, only + 状语从句位于句首时, 句子要进行主谓语部分倒装 (参见 only if , only then):
-
Only then did we realize that the man was blind. 只有到那个时候,我们才意识到那个人是个盲人。
-
Only in this way can you learn English well. 只有这样你才能学好英语。
-
Only when a child grows up does he understand his parents' intention. 只有当儿童长大成人时才会理解父母的意图。
[注意]A. 位于句首的 only 引出状语以外的成分(如主语)时,并不要求主谓语倒装: Only she can answer the question. 只有她能回答这个问题。
B. only + 从句位于句首时, 主谓语的部分倒装发生在主句中, 而并不发生在从句中。对于这一点, 许多学生常常弄混:
-
Only when we landed did we see how badly the plane had been damaged. 我们只是在着陆之后才看到飞机损坏的严重程度。
-
Only when the war was over could he go on studying. 只是在战争结束后他才得以继续学习。
