 no sooner, "하자마자" 영어로

112. No sooner had I sat back and relaxed than my wife asked me to do the chores.

no sooner: ~ 하자마자 (= the moment ~, = scarcely ~ before ~, hardly ~ before ~)

"Scarcely had I sat back and relaxed when my wife asked me to do the chores."

"Hardly had I sat back and relaxed when my wife asked me to do the chores."

"Barely had I sat back and taken a break when my wife requested that I do the chores."

 

[질문] No sooner 뒤에 왜 had I sat back 처럼 had 와 I 가 바뀌었나?

In next expression, "No sooner had I sat back", why 'had' to be placed before 'I'?

chatGPT: "No sooner had I sat back" is an example of a past perfect construction, which is formed with the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle of the main verb. The past perfect tense is used to talk about an action that was completed before another action in the past. In this case, the speaker wants to emphasize that the action of sitting back occurred before any other events that are being referred to. Placing "had" before "I" is grammatically correct and helps convey the intended meaning in a clear and concise way.
