Wonderful presentation Mr.Ahmed!

Allow me to add a little piece of information concerning the inversion.

With "ONLY WHEN", the inversion comes in the second clause.

e.g. (mentioned in the Self-Evaluation Guide in the rewrite section P.45 Ex. 34. and answered wrongly on P.61)

You will understand what true responsibility is only when you become a parent.

WRONG ANSWER P. 61

Only when do you become a parent, you will understand what true responsibility is. WRONG ANSWER

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Only when you become a parent, will you understand what true responsibility is.

The same rule here applies also with: only if / only after

But we cannot apply this rule with: only then.
Only then is followed by direct inversion.

Best Regards!
