Question

No sooner did arti see the thief she went into action use hardly

Answer 1

The sentence using the word 'hardly' is:

Hardly had Arti seen the thief when she went into action.

* In cases where one event immediately follows another, we can use phrases like 'no sooner..than', 'hardly had' and 'as soon as..'.

* In such cases, the first event is mentioned first followed by the second.

* The same sentence can also be converted into the form 'as soon as..':

As soon as Arti saw the thief, she went into action.
