Question

Transform the sentence with 'as soon as' to a sentence with 'no sooner than'.
As soon as I get up, I hug my daughter.

• A. No sooner had I got up than I hug my daughter.
• B. No sooner did I get up than I hug my daughter.
• C. No sooner do I get up than I hug my daughter.
• D. No sooner does I get up than I hug my daughter.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

No sooner do I get up than I hug my daughter.

'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 C is the correct answer as the auxiliary verb 'do' is before the subject 'I'. 'Do should be used as the given sentence is in present tense. Options A, B, and D are grammatically wrong.
