One advanced grammar pattern that can elevate the sophistication of your IELTS essay is the use of "Inversion." Inversion involves reversing the typical word order in a sentence for emphasis or stylistic reasons. It's particularly effective for creating a more formal tone and drawing attention to certain elements in your writing.

Here are a couple of ways you can incorporate inversion into your IELTS essay:

​

1. Introductory Adverbial Phrases วลีผู้รับมือเบื้องต้น:

   By starting a sentence with an introductory adverbial phrase or clause, you can use inversion to emphasize the condition or circumstance.

   • Standard Word Order: IELTS scores have increased significantly in recent years.

   • Inverted: Not only have IELTS scores increased significantly in recent years, but they have also become a crucial factor for university admissions.

2. Negative Adverbial Expressions นิพจน์กริยาที่เป็นลบ:

   Using negative adverbial expressions at the beginning of a sentence creates a more formal and impactful tone.

   • Standard Word Order: Rarely do individuals consider the long-term consequences of their actions.

   • Inverted: Seldom, if ever, do individuals consider the long-term consequences of their actions.

3. Conditional Sentences - Inverted Condition ประโยคเงื่อนไข - เงื่อนไขที่กลับกลับ:

   • Standard Word Order: If governments implement stricter environmental policies, significant progress can be made.

   • Inverted: Were governments to implement stricter environmental policies, significant progress could be made.

 

Inverting the condition in a conditional sentence adds a layer of formality and complexity to your writing.
