Replace '
when' with '
than'. '
No sooner' is
always followed by '
than'.
'
Than'
cannot be replaced with 'when' or any other word.
The correct sentence should be:
No sooner did the monkey see the tiger
than it jumped.
No sooner….than is also a conjunction to denote simultaneous actions.
| No sooner + | Do/does/did + | Subject + | 1st Action + | Than + | Subject + | 2nd Action |
|---|
| Present | No sooner | does | he | see his mother | than | he | stops dancing. |
| Present | No sooner | do | I | see my mother | than | I | stop dancing. |
It should also be noted that
do/does/did or had must come immediately after
'No sooner'.
For e.g. No sooner he did see his brother than he stopped the car -
is incorrect.The correct sentence should be: No sooner
did he see his brother than he stopped the car.
No sooner did the sun rise
than we resumed the work.
