Hello!

Is it all right, please?

The second version does not work for me.

Hi, I'm just curious as to make this sentence into inversion;

Does "Chaising a cat is the dog under the table." make sense?

Thank you.

Does "Chaising a cat is the dog under the table." make sense

No. And it's chasing, not chaising.

You can't invert the sentence without disambiguating the meaning first.
Are both the dog and the cat under the table, with the dog chasing the cat? - 1. Or are neither under the table, with the dog attempting to make the cat go under the table? -2.
Both readings are possible.
1. "Under the table, the dog is chasing the cat." 2. "Under the table is the place to which the dog is trying to chase the cat."
But neither reads naturally.

In this case, I think the best thing to do with is to invert the sentence by doing two clauses separated by comma.


Under the table, the dog is chasing a cat.

I hope it's helpful.
