Advanced English grammar - Inversion explained in simple terms.
In this video you will learn how to use inversion in English.
👩‍🎓 Give yourself the best chance of passing your B2 First, C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency Cambridge English exam.

Inversion is a grammar area that many English students find intimidating and daunting but, as you'll see in the video, it's not as complicated as you probably think. We use inversion all the time in both formal and informal English and it's necessary to understand it in order to express yourself well, particularly in writing.
Students who are preparing for the Cambridge English exams, especially the C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency (CAE and CPE), will need inversion in Part 4 of the Reading and Use of English paper and also for their essays and other writing tasks.

Had I known your videos were this outstanding, I would have started earlier to ramp up efforts to digest them. Not only do you provide great examples but also in a very straightforward manner. I plan to watch them all and weigh in more often on debates in English. Only then will I be able to express myself better in this daunting language. Seldom have I seen this quality in advanced English videos. Not since my short stay in England had I learnt so much.
