Only in the school did he eat apples.
As I know there occurs inversion when 'only-adverbial phrase' is emphasized in the beginning of a sentence as in sentence 1 and 2 below. I wonder whether the sentence 3 and 4 are grammatical.
1. Only in the morning did I eat apples.
2. Only when I was young did I eat apples.
3. Only at school did I eat apples.
4. Only where nobody is around did I eat apples.
Many thanks teachers! (And happy new year ??)
