Inversion in spoken English

We are going to work on inversion by looking at some examples in which inversion is used by native speakers.

Let´s start with Gwyneth Paltrow´s speech  when she was awarded the Oscar for "Shakespeare in Love"

A couple of useful words you'll need to understand her speech:

SOULFUL: passionate and deeply expressive
OXYMORON: contradiction

Where does she use an iversion?


Here goes a selection of links to pretty comprehensive explanations of common INVERSION PATTERNS:

INVERSION I
INVERSION II 

You may as well find extended practice in your grammar bible MyGrammarLab in Unit 76.
