1．注意分清哪些情况要采用倒装：
①down, up, in, out, away等表示位置移动的副词位于句首时；②表示时间、地点的副词或介词短语位于句首时；not, never, hardly, seldom, little, scarcely, neither, nor等否定词位于句首时；③用作频率状语的副词often, always,every,other day，以及程度副词so或表示“也”的so位于句首时；④only位于句首修饰状语时；⑤as位于句首引导让步状语从句时；⑥虚拟条件句省略if时。例如：
Out rushed the children.
Look! Here come the bus!
Often do I go there with them.
So busy is she that she has no time to spare.
Were I you, I would take the position in that company.
2. 注意几个容易出错的场合：
①Not until位于句首引导状语从句，或only位于句首修饰状语从句时，从句不倒装，主句倒装。例如：
Not until he was eight, did he go to school.
Only when the war was over was he able to get happily back to work.
②以下情况的主谓都不倒装：表示时间、地点、方位的副词位于句首，其主语是人称代词时；so位于句首表示强调时；only位于句首不修饰状语或状语从句时。例如：
Out he rushed.
She is very beautiful and so she is.
Only this way can improve your English.
③as位于句首引导让步状语从句时主谓不倒装，只须把表语提到as前，且作表语的单数可数名词提到主语前时不带冠词。例如：
Tired as he felt, he kept on working.
Child as he was, he could work out the problem.
3．注意完全倒装句的特点：
①谓语是系动词；②主语是名词，谓语是不及物动词，如go, lie, com, run等；③句首是表示时间、地点、方向、方式的副词或介词短语，谓语是系动词或半系动词。例如：
On went her old brown jacket.
Down came the long brown waves!
Between Britain and Ireland, in the Irish Sea, lies the small Isle of Man.
