Rule for Inversion with Certain Adverbs:

  • Adverbs/adverbial phrases like Only then, hardly, scarcely, seldom when placed at the beginning of a sentence to emphasize the verb, trigger subject-auxiliary inversion.

  • Structure: Adverbial phrase + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb (base form)

Example:

  • Correct: Only then did I realize the truth.

    • Only then → emphasis

    • did → auxiliary verb for past tense

    • I → subject

    • realize → base form of main verb

Why the other options are incorrect:

  • খ) Only than I realize the truth. → “than” is incorrect; it should be then.

  • গ) Only then I did realize the truth. → Incorrect word order; inversion required: did I realize.

  • ঘ) Only than did I realize the truth. → “than” is wrong; correct word is then.
