Question- What are the definitions of Inversion?

Or

What is the example of Inversion?

Ans-
Inversion - A reversal of position is called an inversion. If a bookstore's employees join together to purchase the store, there is an inversion of power: the employees become owners, and the former owners are their employees.
Reversing the normal order of words in a sentence is also an inversion, especially if the verb comes before the subject. This inversion happens naturally in questions like "Are you happy?" but in statements it can sound a bit like Yoda from "Star Wars" Happy are you." In weather terms, an inversion occurs when the air temperature near the ground is colder than the upper air temperature.

Inversion of the verb before the subject is a common phenomenon in english sentences. The natural order of english sentences is (Subject + Verb ....] but sometime it becomes [Verb + Subject]. Inversion is most common with question form of sentences. However, there are few other circumstances where inversion of subject and verb occurs.
Inversion in questions
Almost all forms of interrogative sentences [without subject questions and embedded questions] use inversion. These sentences always place the auxiliary verb before the subject.
Example -
•Is he going to the club?
• Did he go to the club?
Where is the club?
Who is that guy standing there?
(No inversion for it is a subject question).
Many other negative and affirmative sentences use inversion.
(1) Affirmative and negative agreement only after so, nor, neither but
not in the cases of either and too.
Example -
• Alex went to the club and so did his brother.
• Alex went to the club, and Jenny did too. (No inversion)
• Robert has not reached yet, neither has his companion.
• Robert has not reached yet; Robin has not either. (No inversion)
• Russel is not a footballer, and nor is Alex.
(2) Negative adverbial expressions at the beginning of the sentence:
Example -
• In no way should we accept their offer.
• Little did they know about me:
• Never has he felt so embarrassed.
• Seldom do they go to a tour. .
• Rarely do we see gypsies.
(3) Beginning with only not only:
Example -
• Only if they come would I go.
• Only by researching can you solve this problem.
• Not only did they kill the adults, but they killed also the children.
(4) Adverbials at the beginning of a sentence:
Example -
• Hardly had I reached there, he left.
• Seldom does the teacher finish his class early.
(5) Adverbs of place (here and there) at the beginning of a sentence. This type of sentence requires the main verb (not the auxiliary verb) to come before the subject:
Example -
• There is a lady standing in front of the club.
• Here comes the king,
• The are so many people in the field.
(6) Some prepositional phrases at the beginning of a sentence:
Example -
• Behind me cries a child.
• Over the table hangs a painting.
(7) Conditionals without the conjunction:
Example -
• Had he been there, he could have seen it.
• Were I the president, I could do the good things.
