Which sentence correctly uses subject-verb inversion after the negative expression ‘no sooner’?

Explanation

When a sentence begins with a negative or restrictive expression such as ‘no sooner,’ ‘never,’ or ‘rarely,’ the subject and auxiliary verb must be inverted, similar to how they are inverted in a question. This is why ‘No sooner had he reached home’ is correct, with ‘had’ placed before the subject ‘he,’ rather than the normal statement order ‘he had reached.’ Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
