레벨업 팁LEVEL-UP TIPS
TIP 1 · 조동사 위치가 핵심
도치 구조에서 핵심은 조동사(do/does/did/had/should/were 등)가 주어 앞으로 이동하는 것입니다.
TIP 2 · 의문문과 혼동 주의
도치된 문장은 의문문처럼 보이지만 질문이 아닙니다. 문맥으로 구분하세요.
TIP 3 · 글쓰기에 활용
에세이, 발표, 이메일에서 도치 구조를 사용하면 문체가 세련되고 격식 있게 됩니다.
TIP 4 · 부정어가 앞에 올 때 도치
Never, Rarely, Not until, Only 등 부정어/제한어가 문장 맨 앞에 오면 도치가 발생합니다.
