 The structure no sooner had … than is used if the second event takes place
 immediately after the first. Remember that in this structure no sooner introduces
the event that occurred first. When we begin a sentence with a negative word, we
put the auxiliary verb before the subject.
No sooner had the sun risen than the fog disappeared. No sooner had I finished
my studies than I got a good job.  No sooner had the sun disappeared below the
horizon than darkness began to envelop the planet. No sooner had the police left
the scene than trouble started brewing again. No sooner had we heard the noise

started ringing again. No sooner did they meet than they fell in love with each
other. No sooner did she read the telegram than she fainted. No sooner did the
thieves see the police than they ran away.
Hardly had the child started crying when his mother lifted him up. Hardly had I

started feeling better. Hardly had he reached the bus station when the bus came.

fish, when I started feeling sick. Scarcely had they completed the work, when they
demanded the wages. Scarcely had I gotten my bags unpacked when I realized that
