Question

As soon as I saw Balmukund,l was shocked.( use no sooner....than)​

Answer 1

Rewriting the sentence after using the words in the bracket is as follows:-

No sooner had I seen Balmukund than I was shocked.

• using this phrase "no sooner.... than" we indicate that the second event mentioned in the sentence happens immediately after the first event takes place.
• "no sooner introduces the first event in the sentence and "than" introduces the second event
• There is always the usage of "than" after "no sooner" in a given sentence.
• it is a form of correlative conjunction.
