6) 由no matter how, however和how引导的状语从句要求部分倒装，因为形容词或副词通常紧跟在这三个引导词后面，然后才是主语和谓语，形成形式上的部分倒装句：
例：I know nothing about this river, neither how long, how wide nor how deep it is.（我一点也不了解这条河，不知道它有多长，多宽或多深。）
7) 由as引导的部分倒装句：
a) 当as作为比较意义时，即用于as + adj./ adv. + as结构中时，如果把第一个as省略掉，就形成部分倒装句。
例：Cautious as the rest of her family (was) , she didn't seem willing to give an immediate reply to my question.（正如她家里人一样谨慎小心，她似乎不愿意立即回答我的问题。）
She charged the stairs, quick as a rabbit (ran).（她跑上楼去，跑得象兔子那么快！）
b) 当 as引导让步状语时，和although, though一样，当用作“尽管”之义时，可以用于部分倒装句。 Hard as he worked, he did not pass the exam.(虽然他很用功，但他还是没及格) c) 表示原因时，为了强调起见，也可以倒装。
例：Tired as he was, we decided not to disturb him.（因为他太累了，我们决定不打扰他。） d) 等于so时，意义是“也，也是”
例：She worked hard, so/ as did her husband. （她工作很努力，她的丈夫工作也很努力。） 3. 其它情况的倒装句
1) so, neither, nor除了构成上述倒装句以外，还可以取代上文出现的名词、形容词甚至整句话，构成完全倒装句或部分倒装句。但这两种倒装的意义不同。
a) 当so表示“也，相同，那样”时，通常表示对前一句肯定句的赞同、一致内容，要求使用完全倒装句： He promised to finish my homework, so did I.
b) so /such ……that句型可以构成部分倒装句，表示强调so /such和that之间的部分： 例：So selfish was she that everyone avoid talking with her.
c)也存在such+be+主语的情况用以强调，例如Such was Albert Einstein, a simple man of great achievements.(阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦是一个有伟大成就的普通人)
d) neither和nor共有4种倒装形式，其含义分别为：
1) 完全倒装时：表示\也不\，和上文a）用法正好相反，表示对前一句否定句的赞同或一致内容。 例：You don't know what to do now, neither/ nor do I .（你不知道现在该做什么，我也不知道。） 2) 和其它否定副词连用，表示\也（不）\，也要求用完全倒装句：
例：The besieged enemy could not advance, nor / neither retreat could they .（被包围的敌人既不能进，也不能退。） 注意：若把这句话改成：\（被包围的敌人既不能进，也不能退。）\就不必倒装。 She never laughed, nor did she ever lose her temper. 3) 用在肯定句里，构成一般否定倒装：
例：All that is true, nor must we forget it.（那全都是真的，我们可不能忘记。） 4) 部分倒装，有承上启下作用，表示同意和赞同： 例：A: I couldn't do anything for her.（我帮不了她。）
B: Nor you could, but you might have got somebody to help her.（你是不能帮她，但你本可以找人帮她的。） 2) 在进行比较的句子里，如果主语不是代词时，可以倒装：
例：America consumes more energy than did our country.（美国消耗的能源比我们国家多。） 3）在某些表示祝愿的句型中要求倒装。如May you happy.
4）在文学作品中常出现倒装，有些是由于语法习惯，有些是为了简单的修辞，如Not even one cloud will I bring away（不带走一片云彩）.
注:如果only后面的词组不是状语,则不用倒装. Only Wang Ling knows this .
如果直接引语后注明引语是什么人说的，而且主语是名词时，用倒装结构；主语是代词时，一般不用倒装。\said the man .
