What is Inversion (linguistics)?
In [[linguistics]], '''inversion''' is when the words in a [[sentence]] are in a different order than normal. The most common kind of inversion in [[English language|English]] is [[subject–auxiliary inversion]], which happens when an [[auxiliary verb]] (like ''do'') changes places with its [[subject (grammar)|subject]]. It usually happens in questions like ''Are you coming?''. In this example, the subject ''you'' is switched with the verb ''are''. In many other languages, like languages with a freer [[word order]] than English, inversion can also happen with more verbs (not just auxiliaries) and [[syntax|other kinds of words]].
