Inversion, So do I / Neither do I
4 Read the uses and decide if the examples are correct or incorrect. Write C for Correct or IC for Incorrect.
1 We use Not only + inversion to emphasise two
unusual or special actions that are normally
linked by an addition clause.

Not only did I bruise my arm in the skiing

accident, but I also got a black eye.

5 If there are three or more actions, only one

is inverted.

Not only are we losing, but our best kicker has

been disqualified and our goalkeeper sent off.

2 We DONT usually use this form of inversion to

link two contrasting actions.

6 Responses with So are for agreement with a

positive statement.

Not only did I black out while bungee jumping,

but I also had the time of my life.

I think people who do extreme sports are

crazy. So do I.

3 This form of inversion is NOT used to link

unexceptional, normal activities.

Not only did I iron my blouse, but I also put it on.

4 When the first action is in the present or past
simple, the auxiliary do or did is needed to
form the inversion.

7 Responses with Neither and Nor are for

agreement with a negative statement.

I love playing bossaball. Neither do I.

8 If the responder doesnt agree with a
positive or negative statement, they use
either a positive or negative auxiliary verb.

We really like jogging. I dont.

Not only does my big brother play rugby, but he is

also an amateur boxer.

5 Choose the best option to complete each sentence.

1 Not only is he a great tennis player, but
A he also never does the vacuuming.

6 Rewrite the sentences using inversion.

1 The hockey players were tired and bruised.

Not only
.

B he also does incredibly well in athletics.

2 Not only did the driver speed up, but
A she also slowed down.
B she also lost control of the car.
3 Only if you agree to play by the rules
A will I allow you to be in my team.
B I allow you to be in my team.
4 No sooner had I put the phone down
A did I remember something else I needed to
tell her.
B than I remembered something else I needed
to tell her.
5 Not only does my best friend work out four hours
a day, but
A she also studies for school for three hours.
B does she go to hockey camp three times.
6 Not until I reached home,
A did I realise that I had left my keys at work.

2 When I heard him speak, I remembered his

name.
