No Sooner Than – Meaning & Usage

Meaning:
The phrase "no sooner than" is used to show that one event happens immediately after another. It emphasizes that the second action takes place right after the first, almost without any delay.

Grammar Rule:

It is often used in inverted form in formal English:
"No sooner had + subject + past participle + than + subject + verb"

The verb after "no sooner" is usually in the past perfect tense, and the verb after "than" is in the past simple tense.


Examples:

1. No sooner had I reached the station than the train left.
(I reached the station, and immediately the train left.)


2. No sooner had the teacher entered the class than the students stood up.
(The teacher entered, and right after that the students stood up.)



Common Mistake:
❌ No sooner I reached than the train left.
✅ No sooner had I reached than the train left.

Purpose in Writing & Speaking:

Adds emphasis to the speed or immediacy of actions.

Makes the sentence more dramatic and formal.
