Inversion
In general terms, inversion is the act of inverting something.
In grammar, inversion is when the order of the elements of a sentence are changed.
In other words, the verb will go before the subject.
People use inversion to impress the reader or to be more proper and formal.
It is also used in poetry and artistic creative novels.
The most common case of inversion is in questions, because as we know, it's the normal structure of a question.
