Hi...Everyone.

About Inversion, I'd like to know about how to invert this sentence.

My questions are : 1. eventhough the subject is pronoun, is it possible to invert that sentence?

If you are inverting to form an interrogative sentence, it becomes "Did I see them in the classroom?" You version is exclamatory in the old-fashioned style: "In the classroom did I see them!"
