What is the difference between normal order sentence from inverted sentence?

Answer 1

An inverted sentence is when the predicate (verb) comes before the subject (noun)

Down the street lived the man and his wife without anyone suspecting that they were really spies for a foreign power.

Because there's no object following the verb, the noun phrase after the verb "lived" can be decoded as subject without any problem.

Examples

Inversion after initial negatives: I will never do that again

§ Rarely have I eaten better food.

§ Hardly ever does he come to class on time.

§ Not until a frog develops lungs does it leave the water and live on the land.

§ Not only was Mary Ann Shadd famous for helping escaped slaves, she was also the first African Canadian woman to establish a newspaper.

§ Hardly ever have there been so many choices for young people entering the work force as there are today.

In the field of linguistics, a sentence is an expression in natural language. It is often defined as a grammatical unit consisting of one or more words that bear minimal syntactic relation to the words that precede or follow it. A sentence can include words grouped meaningfully to express a statement, question, exclamation, request, command or suggestion.[1]

A sentence can also be defined in orthographic terms alone, i.e., as anything which is contained between a capital letter and a full stop.[2] For instance, the opening of Charles Dickens' novel Bleak House begins with the following three sentences:

London. Michaelmas term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in Lincoln's Inn Hall. Implacable November weather.

The first sentence involves one word, a proper noun. The second sentence has only a non-finite verb. The third is a single nominal group. Only an orthographic definition encompasses this variation.

As with all language expressions, sentences may contain both function and content words, and contain properties distinct to natural language, such as characteristic intonation and timing patterns.

Sentences are generally characterized in most languages by the presence of a finite verb, e.g. "The quick brown fox jumpsover the lazy dog".

Answer 2

In a normal order sentence, the subject comes before the verb, followed by the object (e.g., "The cat chased the mouse"). In an inverted sentence, the order is reversed, with the verb coming before the subject (e.g., "Chased the mouse the cat"). Inverted sentences are often used for emphasis, creating a more formal or poetic tone.
