對於GMA語法中完全倒裝結構一向以來屬於比較困難的類型,而很多的語法書對此語焉不詳,為迎合GMA考點要求,特總結GMA語法中常見完全倒裝結構。
GMA語法倒裝結構1:表語在句首要倒裝
·介詞短語/分詞短語/形容詞短語+系動詞+主語(主語與前面的動詞主謂一致)
1.1介詞短語在句首

North of the city lies/is a new airport.
GMA語法倒裝結構2:分詞作表語
·過去分詞(有時構成被動結構的過去分詞)提前到句首,引起倒裝
·構成進行時態的現在分詞也可以提到前面來----張道真(正常語序看是進行時態)
Helping them raise their artistic level are various professorial organizations.

Coinciding with the development of jazz in New Orleans in the 1920's was one of the greatest periods in blues music. (原句)【coinciding with…顯然不是動名詞而是現在分詞倒裝】
GMA語法倒裝結構3:形容詞短語放句首
Present at the meeting is our English teacher. (Present出席的,在場的)
Gone are the days when we had a good time at the mountain village. (Gone 離去的)
為了保持句子平衡或上下文的連接更緊密,也可以採用倒裝.

·主語有過多修飾語亦可採用完全倒裝
