Question

Transform sentence with 'as soon as' to sentence with 'no sooner than'.
As soon as Jake went into the room, one of the robbers attacked him.

• A. No sooner had Jake gone into the room then one of the robbers attacked him.
• B. No sooner had Jake gone into the room than one of the robbers attacked him.
• C. No sooner had Jake went into the room than one of the robbers attacked him.
• D. No sooner did Jake went into the room than one of the robbers attacked him.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

No sooner had Jake gone into the room than one of the robbers attacked him.

'No sooner..than' is used to suggest that one action takes place immediately after another action. When 'no sooner..than' is used at the beginning of the sentences then auxiliary verb goes before the subject. No sooner always introduces the event that occurred first.

The given sentence can be transformed using no sooner..than by beginning the sentence with 'no sooner'' followed by 'than'.

Option B is the correct answer as the auxiliary verb 'had' is before the subject 'Jake'. Options A, C, and D are grammatically wrong.
