Are your corrections also valid for singular subjects, as for instance: "Here is explained the reason why..." ,
"In this chapter is analysed the writing.."?

"In this chapter is analysed the writing.."?

should I have written, "Here the reasons why are explained", "in this chapter the writings are analysed", since you suggested that in general the subject is placed before the verb?
And is the same form also valid for the singular subject, as "in this chapter the writing is analysed"?
