Question

Write three inverted sentences about events in “The Wife of Bath’s Tale.”

Answer 1

Answer:

Full of fairies and elves was the isle of Britain in the days of King Arthur.

Gone are those creatures since their spots were taken by the friars and other mendicants.

Such was the court scandalized by the knight´s crime that he was sentenced to death by decapitation.

Explanation:

An inverted sentence changes the position of the verb to appear before the subject, like in a question. The question form (auxiliary + subject + main verb) replaces the conventional positive sentence structure.

The word "such" can be used in inverted sentences with nouns (Such + to be + noun ... that...)
