Question

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

Answer 1

Inverted sentences from 'The Wife of Bath's Tale' focus on key events, such as the queen's judgment over the knight, the knight's reluctant agreement to marry the old woman, and the transformation of the old woman before the court.

Step-by-step explanation:

Creating inverted sentences based on 'The Wife of Bath's Tale' involves rearranging the typical subject-verb-object structure to emphasize certain parts of events or details. Here are three examples:

• Over the knight, the queen's judgment loomed, as he sought the answer to what women most desire.

• Upon hearing the old woman's request, to marry her the knight reluctantly agreed.

• Before the court, transformed was the old woman into a young and lovely bride.

These inverted sentences rearrange the typical sentence structure to place the focus on specific events in the narrative, offering a new perspective on the tale's unfolding drama.

Answer 2

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.

Step-by-step 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...)
