Show transcript
An inverted sentence reverses the natural order of a sentence.
Using an inverted sentence structure is a good way to vary syntax to make your writing more engaging.
Asyndeton uses a list with no conjunctions whilst polysyndeton uses a list with a repeated conjunction.
Asyndeton creates a fast pace whereas polysyndeton creates a slower pace.
You can create interesting sentence structures by adding a climactic structure to your writing.
