Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Strictly, 'No sooner' introduces the event before 'than'. The structure is 'No sooner had I reached... than the train left'. Wait, this sentence is actually correct. The error would be if 'when' was used. Let's find an error: 'No sooner did I reach when the train left'. Correct option in that case is 'when'. If the provided sentence is 'No sooner had I reached than the train left', it is correct. Let's provide an erroneous one: 'No sooner I reached than...' -> Inversion missing. Error: 'I reached'. Explanation: Must be 'had I reached' or 'did I reach'.
