only在什么情况下会引起句子倒装呢?
一般来说,only引导的状语位于句首时,会引起句子出现部分倒装。
那什么是部分倒装呢?
将谓语的部分(如be,助动词:do,does,did,have,has,had ...情态动词:can,could,will,would,must,may,should ...)放于主语之前的倒装句语序叫部分倒装。

→ Only by working hard can you succeed.
只有努力工作你才能成功。

3)“only 状语从句”位于句首时

→Only when I got there did I know the truth.
只有到那里时我才知道事情的真相。
