Subject-verb inversion

2nd. Batx. beware!

Last year those pupils taking Selectividad in June had a reading comprehension text called "British pupils among the rudest" in which they had a couple of sentences with subject - verb inversion. As our textbook does not include this grammar point, I have decided to include it here so that you can become familiar with it. I´ll cater for a link with all possible inversion types and some more with exercises.
