In chapter ten, there/ it (-) will be added

Hi,

1- In chapter ten, there will be added a biography of Shakespere.
2- In chapter ten will be added a biography of Shakespere.
3- In chapter ten, it will be added a biography of Shakespere.

I have a sentence in my language but I cannot change it into english. Which one is grammatically OK? I am sure that sentence 1 is OK, but I am not sure of sentence 2. I think #3 is wrong.

Thank you.

You are right that sentence #3 is incorrect. The other two are OK.

... but not natural. More likely would be [see how odd that inversion sounds?}

1- In chapter ten, a biography of ShakespeAre will be added.
2- In chapter ten a biography of ShakespeAre will be added.

The focus comes first. So a better way of saying 'More likely would be' would be 'These would be more likely'. (The inverted form is not wrong, but the straightforward way - with the focus as the subject, and expressed first - is usually clearer.)

It's important to use the correct spelling of Shakespea​re.

Yes, I have heard that he spelled his name several different ways.
