Using inversion: Never had I seen such a wonder. When we want to use inversion with sentences that have no auxiliary, we need to add it after the adverb and before the subject in the inverted sentence. Normal word order: I rarely smoke. (no auxiliary) Using inversion: Rarely do I smoke. (added do after adverb) The T will write on the WB; for Not sooner It was a terrible time.
