CHAPTER---3

 INTERCHANGE 

NO  SOONER  THAN   AND AS  SOON AS

HOW TO CHANGE ??☝️☹️🙄

STUDY THESE EXAMPLES 👇

a)As soon as the teacher entered the class,the boys stopped shouting.

No sooner did the teacher enter the class than  the boys stopped shouting

b)As soon as he saw the girl,he went to speak to her.

No sooner had he seen the girl than he went to speak to her.

c)As soon as the alarm rings , mother gets up .

No sooner does  the alarm  ring than  mother gets up.

d)No sooner did he write the letter than he posted it.

As soon as he wrote the letter ,he posted it.

👉(In example  'a' the question is in simple past form in As soon as  .In this case there can be two answers

The answer can be in simple past form or past perfect form in No sooner 

Therefore...No sooner did the teacher enter...

Or ..No sooner had the teacher entered....

The same in example 'b' 

No sooner had he seen  the girl...or

No sooner did he see the girl...

example 'c'..The sentence is in present tense thus the answer is also in present tense.

👉No sooner does the alarm ring.....

Example 'd'..The question begins with No sooner....thus the answer  begins with As soon as.

(Note👉No sooner in the beginning bis followed by an auxiliary verb +subject +main verb..

No sooner did  the teacher enter....

or/No sooner had the teacher entered.....

"Than" is an indispensable part of  No sooner .. sentences.)

   LESSON--1

Remove-Too

How to remove  'too"?🤔🤔

The beggar  is too poor to buy food for himself.

The beggar is so poor that he cannot buy food for himself.

The word too is replaced with "so"and the infinitive  "to"is replaced by three words."that he cannot"

If the subject is a female then ...that she cannot

Or if the subject is neuter gender  then ..that it cannot..

Examples

a)The boy is too weak to walk .👇

The boy is so week that he cannot walk .

b)The man is too clever to be deceived👇

The man is so clever that he cannot be deceived.

c)The girl is too young to cook.👇

The girl is so young that she cannot cook.

Now remember one thing.

If the question is in affirmative ,the answer will be in negative and vice versa.

Example..The boy is too foolish not to be deceived.

The boy is so foolish that he can be deceived.

(If the question  is in past tense, the answer will also be in the past tense)

For example:He was too tired to work.

He was so tired that he could not work.
