情态动词与be动词同时存在于倒装句中时,两者位置如何?

The man we met yesterday may be jogging in the park now.

请问这个句子如果要进行全倒装的话,首先是分词"jogging in the park now"前置,然后是谓语采用倒装,这里既有情态动词也有be动词,还是放在一起吗?即:

Jogging in the park now may be the man we met yeasterday.

The man we met yesterday may be jogging in the park now.

含有情态动词的完全倒装,如果是进行体,只把现在分词短语提前句首,may be 位置不变:

Jogging in the park now may be the man we met yeasterday.

(现在分词+地点状语 + may/can be + 主语)

倒装的原因是由于句子主语太长而后置,以保持句子匀称,属于修辞范畴。

In the park may the man we met yeasterday be Jogging now. (这句话违背了语言表达的基本要求,是错误的)

不含情态动词的进行时的完全倒装:

Mary and David were sitting in front of the house.

--Sitting in front of the house were Mary and David.

-- In front of the house were sitting Mary and David.

Jogging in the park now may be the man we met yeasterday. (错误)

In the park  may the man we met yeasterday be Jogging now. (正确)(划线部分是定语从句)

这句话要倒装,我认为只有两种操作方式

(因为要倒装,引出焦点信息,情态动词这种不确认的功能在本句子中不再适用)


Jogging in the park is the man we met yesterday.

In the park is jogging the man we met yesterday.


另外my153老师的In the park may the man we met yesterday be jogging now. 这个版本我实在看不懂,my153老师擅长引用各自出处,能否引用一下使用依据
