完全倒裝是指將全部謂語部分置於主語之前，此結構一般只用於一般現在時和一般過去時，常見的引起句子完全倒裝的情況有：
1.There引導的存在句種，其謂語動詞為be, appear, come, exist,remain,seem等時。如
There stands a tree on the hill.山上有棵樹。
There seems to be something wrong with the computer.這臺電腦好像有點問題。
2.表示地點的副詞或介詞短語放入句首時。如
There goes the last bus.末班車開走了。
Around the lake are some tall trees.
湖的四周有些高大的樹。
Among these people was his friend Jim.
他的朋友吉姆就在這些人當中。
注意：此結構中謂語動詞為不及物動詞，且不可用於進行時。主語必須是名詞，若主語為代詞，則不用倒裝。如：
Here comes Tom.湯姆來了。（主語為名詞，倒裝語序）
Here he comes.他來了。（主語為代詞，正常語序）
3. 副詞away,down, in, off, out, over, round, up等位於句首時。
Out rushed the policemen. 警察們衝了出去。
Away went the cat.那隻貓跑開了。
Down came the rain and up went the umbrellas.
下雨了，傘都撐起來了。
4. 表示時間的副詞now,then放於句首時。
Then came a new difficulty.這時又產生了一個新的難題。
5. 表示範圍的介詞短語放在句首時。
Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.
在那些打破傳統風格的畫家中有在巴黎生活和工作的印象派畫家。
who broke away from the traditional style of painting是定語從句，修飾painters.
