There are times that a sentence

is in inverted order. If we say
inverted sentence, it is a
sentence in which the verb
comes before the subject.

Lily is a thin girl. She is quiet and shy.

Every time she sits at the canteen, she is
always alone. Every day, at the hallway, are
Nestor’s friends. Making fun of Lily is their
hobby. In Lily’s bag are books. Carlo, one of
the naughty boys, teases Lily,
 grabs the handbag, passes it with his
friends, and scatters all the books on the
floor. “Bamboo Stick” is what they call her.
From Room 3 comes Marina. She defends Lily
and argues with the boys. In simple way
Marina helps.
. Later on, Lily and Marina became
