Are We Unusual ?

Never, Rarely, Seldom

1. Never have I seen a black diamond.
2. Rarely has it rained in the dry zone.
3. Seldom have I been to America.

I hope you like it.
Love you.

What's to like? What is the purpose of your post, Mr KML? Do you have a grammar question?

2. Were all my sentences correct?

1. It is used in these cases for fronted negative and negative-like adverbials.
2. Yes, they are all good, if you keep in mind that they are somewhat formal and literary. The more usual, conversational versions are these:

1. I have never seen a black diamond.
2. I has rarely rained in the dry zone.
3. I have seldom been to America.
