I know it. Inversion is used to form a question but hmmm... I don't know how to say it... study this example : you can say: We little knew about john's problem. or use inversion: Little did we know about john's problem. . It is inversion too. Can you tell me when we use this inversion??

This example is a device used for emphasis. It is not a question, and it doesn't change the meaning.
