"No sooner had she left than he arrived."  Could be written as "She had barely left when he arrived."

Rewrite without changing meaning: "No sooner had she left than he arrived."

Hardly had she left when he arrived."

This keeps the same meaning while using "hardly" in place of "no sooner," which also emphasizes the immediacy of the two actions.

"She had  scarcely left when he arrived."

He arrived as soon as he left. OR  He arrived immediately after she left.

As soon as she left, he arrived. This structure in grammar is called "negative inversion" The auxiliary verb (had) comes before the subject (she). "No sooner" indicates that one event happened immediately after another. This structure is often used in formal and literary contexts. 

I live in Italy but I was born and raised in Hungary and have lived and worked in Macedonia (Former Yugoslavia), England, The Netherlands  and  Norway. I love travelling and moving around because it is a great way of learning about new cultures and understanding the diversity in the world. My other passion as a multilingual person is translating which enabled me to volunteer as a translator for TED Talks. I am also keen on outdoor activities and I spend a lot of time hiking in nature, cycling and swimming.
