Answer 2

Answer:

• No sooner than he placed a stamp on the letter , he dropped it into the mailbox.
• As soon as he placed the stamp on the letter, he dropped it into the mailbox.
• Hardly when he placed the stamp on the letter, he dropped it into the mailbox.

Explanation:

• When no sooner than comes, we use inverted word order . The auxiliary verb comes before the subject.
• We use as soon as when any two or more actions occur immediately or shortly after the previous action is completed.
• Hardly comes when the verb in the sentence is in simple tenses such as is and was.
