Grammar: Inversion & Emphasis

Advérbios negativos, So/Such... that e a inversão condicional (sem "if").

Quando um advérbio negativo vai para o início, inverte-se sujeito + auxiliar (como numa pergunta): "Never have I seen such talent."

"Rarely do we see such commitment." / "Seldom does she arrive late."

"Hardly had I arrived when the phone rang." / "No sooner had I sat down than it started."

📐 Regra: No sooner... than (não "when"). Hardly/Scarcely... when.

So + adjetivo + was/were + that: "So beautiful was the sunset that we stopped to watch."

Such + (a) + substantivo + that: "Such was her talent that everyone applauded."

Compare: "The film was so good that I watched it twice." → ênfase: "So good was the film that I watched it twice."

3rd conditional: "If I had known..." → "Had I known, I would have come."

2nd conditional: "If I were you..." → "Were I you, I would accept the offer."

1st conditional (formal): "If you should need help..." → "Should you need help, call me."

📐 Dica: a inversão condicional é mais formal e elegante — comum em discursos e escrita profissional.
