About Inversion and Unreal Conditional in Academic Writing Hi there, I'm confused about the usage of inversion and unreal conditional in academic writing. Firstly, can I use inverted sentence as a clause? e.g. This tactic could be impractical due to the fact that never have schools implemented it. Secondly, can I use inversion in unreal conditionals in academic writing? e.g. Were all buildings painted white, residents would feel scared. Will it be informal or weird? Thanks in advance.
