Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Hardly as we began the football match it started raining.

Explanation:

to begin with hardly we need to convert it into positive degree of comparison

Answer 2

"Hardly had the football match begun, when the rain started." This will be the sentence when starting with 'hardly.'

• Here, we have to convert the sentence into one starting with 'hardly.'
• 'Hardly' can be used to start sentences and is used before an auxiliary verb.
• It is used when we have to express when a short amount of time has passed.
• In the sentence, the football match had just started and only a short amount of time had passed that it began to rain.
• Thus, here a short amount of time passing has been expressed.
• Hence, when the sentence will begin with hardly it will go as follows, "Hardly had the football match begun, when the rain started."
