Hi!
 
As the other messages I recently posted, I have some doubts with a few
sentences.
 
Now, they are about introductory adverbs:
 
1. I did not understand the lesson until he explained it again.
Not until he explained it again did I understand the lesson.
 
2. He hardly would accept.
Hardly would he accept.
 
3. She scarcely understood the lesson.
Scarcely did she understand the lesson.
 
4. I did it thus.
Thus did I do it.
 
5. He may well help us to do it.
Well may he help us to do it.
 
6. They are reduced to such straits that they are thinking of the two
front rooms.
To such straits are they reduced that they are thinking of the two
front rooms.
 
7. Lying need hardly ever be considered convenient.
Hardly ever does lying be considered convenient.
 
8. Studying hard may well be regarded as the best way to achieve
success.
Well may it be regarded to study hard as the best way to achieve
success.
Well may it be regarded as the best way to achieve success to study
hard.
Well may studying hard be regarded as the best way to achieve success.
 
(Well, as there are to forms to do each sentence, two of these three
should be
correct. I think the last one is Ok, but I don't know which of the
first two is the
right one)
 
That's all folks! :) (Thanx in advance!)
