No Sooner...than: Kitchen Moments in Time 3

NO SOONER....THAN

The formula for the structure No sooner do/does/did/had...than is as follows:

Formula:
No sooner + auxiliary verb (do/does/did/had) + subject + main verb (base form) + than + subject + verb (appropriate tense)

Explanation:
No sooner: This phrase indicates that one action happens immediately after another.

do/does/did/had: These auxiliary verbs are used depending on the tense you're referring to:

do is used for the present tense with subjects I, you, we, they.
does is used for the third-person singular subject (he, she, it) in the present tense.
did is used for the past tense, regardless of the subject.
had is used for the past perfect tense.
