You’re probably thinking about sentences where the auxiliary verb
had
comes before the subject, as in:
Had I
seen your question when you posted it in October, I would have replied before today!
This means the same as
If
I had
seen…. etc
with normal word order; but the inverted word order (
Had I
...)
is more formal.
