"No sooner had I finished the meal, I started feeling hungry again". Is this sentence grammatically correct?
-
True
-
False
The sentence is grammatically incorrect (False). The 'no sooner' construction requires inversion and 'than' - the correct form is 'No sooner had I finished the meal THAN I started feeling hungry again.' This is a correlative conjunction structure that always pairs 'no sooner' with 'than,' not with a comma.
To answer this question, you need to understand the correct usage of verb tenses and conjunctions.
The given sentence, "No sooner had I finished the meal, I started feeling hungry again," is grammatically incorrect.
The correct form of the sentence would be: "No sooner had I finished the meal than I started feeling hungry again."
The phrase "no sooner...than" is used to indicate that one event happened immediately after another event. In this case, the first event is finishing the meal, and the second event is feeling hungry again. The word "than" is required to connect the two events.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) False.
