Angry

Hey everybody.
I have a question about difrences between 4 sentences. I realy need its answer and will be glad anybody answer my question.

These 4 sentences are:
1- Angry he went out.
2- He angry went out.
3- He went angry out.
4- He went out angry.

Do thay have any special meaning?

These 4 sentences are: 1- Angry he went out. Inverted sentence. This is only used to create a strange speech pattern, such as the character "Yoda" in the "Star Wars" movie series.

Thanks for your answer.But what if we change "angry" with "angrily" in all sentences.
the sentences will be:

1- Angrily he went out.
2- He angrily went out.
3- He went angrily out.
4- He went out angrily.

@AlpheccaStars
you said 1) and 4) are right that way, but I guess you always need the adverb of 'angry', no matter where it's placed.

I'm angry.

To Saman:
We normally use verbs of frequency before a verb.
I normally go swimming once a week.
I hardly ever do my homework.
Often I go to the movies. (emphasized)
