Grammar Rule

When a sentence begins with Hardly / Scarcely / Barely, inversion is used. : যেতিয়া বাক্য Hardly / Scarcely / Barelyৰে আৰম্ভ হয়, তেতিয়া inversion ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা হয়।
Structure: Hardly + had + subject + past participle + when + clause

Example  :উদাহৰণ: Hardly had I reached the station when the train left.

Wrong : “Than” is incorrect with hardly. Only “when” is used. : ইয়াত “than” ভুল, সদায় “when” ব্যৱহাৰ কৰা হয়।

Meaning: I reached the station and immediately the train left. : অৰ্থ: মই ষ্টেচনত পৌঁছাৰ লগে লগে ৰেলগাড়ীটো চলি গ’ল।
