— после наречий, обозначающих срочное наступление момента, в начале предложения (hardly, when, no sooner ... than, not until, scarcely ... when): No sooner had the plane landed than the flight attendant announced that we were taking off; Scarcely had I jumped on the train when it started; Not until the storm stopped, could we admire the view of the ocean;
