inversion

[spoon]

Hi again!!^^

So weird this old castle looks that it seems like a headless man haunts it.

This sentence is grammatically wrong with the inversion part.

The underlined is fronted by inversion rule, then auxiliary verb follows after it?

-> So weird does this old castle look that ..........

Is this correct?

Thank you so much!

You will see non-inversion after an initial so + adjective. I would say it would be wrong not to invert the verb 'be' and prefer the inversdion, but you will come across this.

I see. Then, 'look' in the above sentence is used in the same way of "be" ?

thanks. tdol
