Hi,
http://www.learnersdictionary.com/definition/scarcely
- Scarcely a day goes by when they don't see or talk to each other.
I have come across the sentence above that begins with 'scarcely'. I would like to ask why the inversion is not used in that sentence although it starts with 'scarcely'? Why not this one:
- Scarcely does a day go by when they don't see or talk to each other.
Thanks.
