Question

Read the following sentence to find out whether there is an error in any part. No sentence has more than one error. If you feel there is no error in a sentence, choose ‘No error’.
No sooner had he returned than he was off again.

A.

No sooner

B.

had he returned

C.

than he was off again

D.

No error

Correct option is D

Option (d) is correct – No error.
Explanation: This sentence follows the standard inversion structure used after "No sooner." It is also correctly paired with “than.”
Grammatical rule used:
�� After "No sooner", use auxiliary verb + subject + V3, and pair it with “than.”
Example: No sooner had she arrived than it started to rain.
�� Information Booster: Don’t confuse "than" with "when" – "No sooner" is always followed by "than."
