介词短语置于句首时,通常需要使用完全倒装,即把助动词、情态动词或be动词等置于主语之前。以下是一些例子:
1. At the end of the day, we realized that we had made a mistake.
(在一天结束时,我们意识到我们犯了一个错误。)
2. In the middle of the night, I heard a loud noise.
(在半夜,我听到了一个很大的噪音。)
3. By the time you finish reading this, I will have left for the airport.
(在你读完这篇文章的时候,我将会去机场了。)
4. From the top of the mountain, we could see the entire city.
(从山顶上,我们可以看到整个城市。)
在这些例子中,介词短语位于句首,而助动词或be动词则置于主语之前,形成完全倒装。
