the noun or auxiliary verb in start

[Huda2]

hi,
Never before _____ as rapidly, as during the last three decades.

is:

1-have communications developed
2-communications have developed
why the 1 is best?

[Sarah113]

I did not understand your question this way .so sorry :?

[Kitosdad]

Neither sentence is structured as a question.

Huda, the first one is correct The second one makes no sense without having the " have " before communications.

well, does the time in this sentance is present perfact?

i mean this sentance :never before have communication developed

[Kitosdad]

Huda, excuse me, but I think your time would be far better spent in correcting your sentence structure, spelling and other " basics " before getting involved any deeper.

Please don't be offended, but you appear to be running before you can walk properly.

Words like 'never', 'seldom', and 'rarely' can't go at the end of a sentence. In "polemical sentences", they must go at the beginning of a sentence. In these cases, the correct syntax is the same as that used for questions. This rule also applies to negative assertions in which the sentence starts with 'Not': "Not only will they visit...."

I think , I'm here in this forum to learn.
I try to correct any sentence I wrote it before sending it .keep in your mind sir, my native language is Arabic , so I'm facing difficulties ,but I think I'm not very bad in writing. I think ,my previous question was clear ,and there is someone replied to me

.
Yes, Huda, it is present perfect. Have/Has + past participle.
