Inversion

Post by Lester » Thu Aug 26, 2004 1:29 pm

OK, here is another question for all of you. What exactly is inversion in regards to paraphrasing? I searched and found some very confusing rules about it. Can anyone else shed some more light on this? What is it all about?

Sincerely
Lester

Good afternoon all.

Oh dear, Lester, this one could get something started here. I am with you, what is "inversion?" Perhaps I know what it is by another name, but as you put forth the question I have no idea. Let's see if someone enlightens us on that one.

peace,
revel.

It's when you put the denominator on top of the numerator! Sort of like perversion. :wink:

I know what inversion is, but never have I heard of it in relation to paraphrasing.
