When no sooner comes at starting inversion can take place. No sooner+inversion of the sentence+than.

I think both A and B are wrong because it's supposed to be no sooner had. Then it's past participle.

'No sooner' is followed by 'than'
Ex: No sooner did I enter the street, than an accident occured.

Can we use "No sooner then I opened the door" instead of "No sooner did I open the door"?

I am confused here, should it not be then instead of than? If not then please explain.

@Chalam
theres one more like that....
"hardly"...."when".

I think no sooner will agree with than more efficiently than when. Just check it.

"then" or "than". Not a comparison so I'm confused why "than" is used.
