She didn't come here before it rained. = It rained, then (after a certain time: from 0.* second to a great deal of time) she came here. (We shouldn't use the past perfect here like 'She hadn't come', right?)
She didn't come here until it had rained. = She came here just after it rained.
She had hardly(=just only) come here before it rained. = It rained just after she came.
She had no sooner(=closer to NOW) come here than it rained. = It rained just after she came. = She had just come when It rained.
My understanding is right?
Thanks LiJ
