Inverted subjects are subjects that appear after the verb.

• A. Inverted Subjects
• B. Standard Word Order
• C. Subject-Verb Agreement
• D. Direct Objects

Answer: (A)

In standard sentence structure, the subject usually comes before the verb. When the verb appears first and the subject follows, that arrangement is called inverted word order, and the subject is described as inverted. The term that matches the given statement is inverted subjects because it names the subject appearing after the verb. You can see it in sentences like “Here comes the rain,” where comes is before the subject the rain, or “Never have I seen such chaos,” where the auxiliary precedes the subject I. These examples show the subject after the verb, which is exactly what inverted subjects describes. The other options point to different ideas: standard word order is the normal SVO pattern, subject-verb agreement concerns matching forms, and direct objects are the nouns receiving action, none of which describe the placement of the subject after the verb.
