never he heard that vs never did he hear that

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Never did he hear that' is the more common and natural construction in English. It follows the standard subject-auxiliary inversion pattern often used in formal or literary writing. 'Never he heard that' is less common and may sound awkward to native speakers due to the lack of inversion.

never he heard that

This phrase is not commonly used in English. It lacks subject-auxiliary inversion, which is necessary for correct sentence structure.

The correct structure should be 'He never heard that.' The subject 'he' should come before the verb 'heard' in this case.

never did he hear that

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English. It follows the subject-auxiliary inversion pattern often seen in formal or literary writing.

Examples:
