A cadence is a seuqnece of chords which ends a section of music you don't have a cadence leading to another cadence. A cadence is like a full stop or a comma you don't put full stops and commas next to each other, just at the end of a clauses. An inverted cadence is simply a cadence where the last chord is inverted (i.e. b or c or d ), rather than in root position ( a ). I advise grade 5 students not to use inverted cadences, because they need careful treatment. If you end a piece with a perfect cadence, use the chords Va-Ia for the best effect.
