Is the following usage is common

To me, it's not common in either.

In writing, I think they are really common. In speaking, the first and the third seem to be commonly used also. I do not hear people using the second one that much in spoken language. And please, people do use these quite a lot in both writing and speaking. Do not say they are not common.

Thank you for your thorough explanation, Sica. I was wondering whether I use these expressions when I master them as I am not fluent in English yet. It is good to know that two of them are commonly used in spoken English.

Thank you, tamguatlay. I understand that none of them are commonly used.

DesafinadoThank you, tamguatlay . I understand that none of them are commonly used.

Yes, you're right. To me, your sentences are rarely used, either in written form or conversation.

DesafinadoLittle did I dream of becoming a teacher.On his lap sat his daughter.Nothing has he written on the answer sheet.

The first is not very natural. We would be far more likely to say "Little did I dream that I would become a teacher". If the speaker did not become a teacher, we would not use the 'little did I dream' structure.
