You will note that this statement does not carry the same emphasis upon
the word _never_ as the inverted statement.
+422.+ +In interrogative sentences, the subject comes after the helping
verb or after the interrogative used to introduce the sentence.+ As for
example:
Have _you_ heard the news?
When will _we_ hear from you?
How have the _people_ been managing?
What will the _children_ do then?
Will the _students_ come later?
Can the _work_ be accomplished quickly?
Must our _youth_ end so quickly?
+423.+ +The real subject comes after the verb when we use the
introductory word it.+ As for example:
It will not be safe _to go_.
_To go_ is really the subject of the sentence. _To go will not be safe._
_It_ is sometimes the real subject of a sentence, as in the sentence;
_It is a wonderful story_.
Here _it_ is the subject of the sentence and _a wonderful story_ is the
predicate complement. But in the sentence:
It is wonderful to hear him tell the story.
_To hear him tell the story_ is the real subject of the sentence. The
first sentence, _It is a wonderful story_, could not be rewritten, but
the second sentence could be rewritten, as follows:
To hear him tell the story is wonderful.
+424.+ +The introductory word there reverses the order of the sentence+,
just as the introductory word _it_. The real subject is used later in
the sentence. As for example:
There were a great many people present.
This could be rewritten, omitting the introductory word _there_. We
could say:
A great many people were present.
The noun _people_ is the subject of the sentence.
