Here's the sentence that I'm struggling with: "No sooner did we enter the country did they kick us out for not having the right visa". Does this make sense?
@kevinballa,
no.
try this --
"As soon as we entered the country, they kicked us out for not having the right visa."
If you get refused entry at the frontier, technically you have not "entered" the country. At London Heathrow airport the immigration people regularly "bounce" people who have no valid visa. One of the biggest groups is single American women who have been conducting Internet romances with British guys and who fondly imagine they can just move to the UK.
@kevinballa,
If you want to use something as close as possible to your sentence . . .
"No sooner
had we enter
ed the country
than they kick
ed us out for not having the right visa.
@kevinballa,
Quote:"No sooner did we enter the country did they kick us out for not having the right visa". Does this make sense?
It makes perfect sense, Kevin. Even Region understood the meaning.
