Fronting
Move elements to the front for focus.
Examples
- Strange though it seems, it's true.
Key rules
- Move an element to the start for emphasis or style
- Examples: Such a day it was, Gone were the days
- Objects can be fronted: This I can't believe
- Often used in literature and speeches
Common mistakes
- Fronting an object needs normal subject and verb order afterwards: This book I like → This book like I
- Down came the rain
💡 Tip: Do not overuse it in everyday writing.
