No sooner.. than
Which is correct? If both are okay, what is the difference between them?
And I wonder if it is possible that 'no sooner' comes after subject.
Because I think this structure is a inversion and I wonder what the original sentence is before it is made a inversion.
?No sooner had I come into contact with him than I determined to get to know him well.
?No sooner did I come into contact with him than I determined to get to know him well.
Thanks in advance.
