SPOT THE ERROR: No sooner the Girl entered the room than she locked the room.
Correct answer: A. The girl
- A. The girl
- B. Entered
- C. Than
- D. The room
Explanation
Replace "the girl" with "did the girl":The original sentence is incorrect because it lacks proper grammatical structure; "No sooner" should be followed by "had" for past perfect tense. Changing "the girl" to "did the girl" makes it correct by following the correct structure.
