FREQUENCY (WITH NEVER, HARDLY EVER, RARELY,SELDOM, NO SOONER)
When a story is told in the past tense, the adverbials hardly, scarcely, barely and no sooner are often used to emphasise that one
event quickly followed another. The verb describing the earlier event is usually in the past perfect tense. If hardly, scarcely, barely
and no sooner are in the initial position, the subject and auxiliary are inverted:
I had never seen so many people in one room. (= normal word order)
Never had I seen so many people in one room. (= inversion)

CONDITIONAL TYPE 3
We use an Unreal Past Perfect in the if-clause when we are thinking about how things
might have been
different. In the conditional sentence we can omit if or other conditional words and start
with Had:
Had I believed her for one moment, I wouldn¿t have refused to help.
Had you told me earlier, I would/could/might have done something about it.

 4a Questão
Complete the sentence: The boss didn¿t know what to do, _____ the rest of us.
 a) so did
 d) nor did
c) neither
e) so didn¿t
b) either
 
 
Explicação:
When "so", "neither" and "nor" are used to make short agreements they are followed by
an inversion.
"I am not into hip hop.""Neither am I." (Or: "Nor am I.")
"I am fond of flamenco dancing.""So am I."
 
We use inversion after neither or nor when these words begin a clause to introduce a negative addition to a previous negative
clause or sentence:
For some time after the explosion Jack couldn¿t hear, and neither could he see.
The council never wanted the new supermarket to be built, not did local residents.
 
 
 5a Questão
Only by working three jobs _____ able to support his large family
 he is
he's being
being he
he was
 was he
 
 
Explicação:
Inversion brings about fronting, the re-ordering of information in a sentence to give
emphasis in a particular place. Often this causes an element to be postponed until later in
the sentence, focusing attention on it.
Only by working three jobs _____ able to support his large family. (WAS HE) 
 
 
 6a Questão

Never John had been to such a fantastic restaurant.
Never has John been to such a fantastic restaurant.
 Never had John been to such a fantastic restaurant.

Sometimes conditional forms are inverted as a means of sounding more formal. In this case, the conditional 'if' is dropped and the
inverted forms takes the place of the 'if clause'.

should:
