Inversión de Verbo y Sujeto con Adverbios Negativos

Clase 16 de 21 • Curso de Inglés Intermedio Alto B2: Discurso Indirecto y Condicionales

Resumen

Invertir el orden del sujeto y el verbo en una oración te permitirá hablar de forma negativa sobre una circunstancia haciendo uso de adverbios negativos.

Cómo invertir el orden de sujetos y verbos para hablar en negativo

Los adverbios negativos son una serie de palabras que modifican verbos, adjetivos u otros adverbios y te permiten expresarte de manera negativa. Los adverbios negativos más comunes suelen ser:

Never
No sooner
Not only
Under no circumstances

Normalmente, en el inglés se utiliza la fórmula “Subject + Verb”. Pero, en esta oportunidad, invertiremos el orden y utilizaremos la siguiente fórmula: “Negative adverb + Verb + Subject”.

Veamos algunos ejemplos:

No sooner had they gone than it started to rain.
Never have I seen anything like that before.
Not only was it hot, but it was also humid every day.
Under no circumstances should children be here without supervision.
Never have I done anything wrong.
Under no circumstances should we contact him.
No sooner had she called that they left.

Emplea esta nueva estructura gramatical para expresarte de manera negativa sobre una circunstancia. Solo no olvides invertir el orden del verbo y del sujeto.

Is it correct to say: "Never will I forget this class?"

Patricio Villarroel Durán

student•

Hi Andy!

No. You really want to say "I will never forget this class".

If you want to say it as a question, you want to say "Will I never forget this class?"

Dani Landa

student•

¡Hola Andy! Eso suena como una pregunta que te podrías hacer a ti mismo o que le asegurarás a alguien más si tú jamás vas a olvidar esa clase, lo cual en inglés suena extraño.

Es una pregunta porque escribiste: never + will + I Para hacerlo una afirmación: I will never forget this class.

¡Saludos!
