Inversion and Fronting II

This document contains examples of two grammar exercises: 1. The first exercise provides sentences that require fronting and inversion to rewrite them in the reported speech format. 2. The second exercise provides sentences that require the addition of "as" to the beginning and inversion to complete the sentences in a comparative structure. 3. Both exercises are demonstrating how to use fronting and inversion in English grammar to rewrite sentences in different structures like reported speech and comparisons.
