C2 Mastery word order

规则

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.

记住

  • 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.

需要避开的常见陷阱

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

自我检测

Rewrite one paragraph three ways, moving the focus each time, then practise the topic.
