C2 Mastery word order

Regeln

At C2 word order stops being a rule to obey and becomes a tool: what goes first, what goes last and what is left out all carry meaning of their own.

Kom ihåg

  • Fronted negatives and restrictives force inversion: not until the audit did anyone notice.
  • Clefts, absolutes and reduced relatives repackage the same content around a different focus.
  • End-weight puts the heaviest element last so the sentence stays readable.

Vanlig fälla att undvika

Inversion after a fronted negative is obligatory, not stylistic. Never before anyone had seen it is wrong however natural the uninverted order feels.
