Question

Transform sentences with 'as soon as' to sentences with 'no sooner than'.
As soon as he saw the scary lady, he ran away.

• A. No sooner had he see the scary lady than he run away.
• B. No sooner did he see the scary lady than he run away.
• C. No sooner did he saw the scary lady than he ran away.
• D. No sooner did he see the scary lady than he ran away.

Answer 1

The correct option is D No sooner did he see the scary lady than he ran away.

'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'.

Thus, option D is the correct answer as 'auxiliary verb - did' is before the subject 'he'. 'Did' and 'ran' should be used as the given sentence is in the past tense. Options A, B, and C are grammatically wrong.
