No sooner did he enter the room
EnglishCorrelating Sentences
- Ahe has finished his work
- Bhe had finished his work
- Che finished his work
- Dhe will finish his work
Explanation
The correlative is 'no sooner... than', and after 'No sooner did he enter the room' the paired clause takes the simple past. Option (c) 'he finished his work' matches the past-tense 'did enter'; the perfect forms (a) and (b) do not fit 'no sooner did'. Hence (c).
