And I Get None??????????

[dalfred]

Hello fellow people,


What is correct?(and why is very Important!)
I'm talking to the director of Wall Street Institute for English on Friday.


No sooner had I opened my front door ... that something was wrong.

did i realize
than i realized

(fill in the dots)


And one more

Sorry you didn't find me at home. ... out to do some shopping.

I've gone
I'd gone

I failed on both. But i am 999 million percent sure (don't know why) that 'did i realize' is correct.Just can't explain it.
And 'I've gone' is correct because i left a note.(or not?)

Cheers
Donald

you´re right...the answers are than I realized and I´ve gone ( if it´s a note)
the first one is a sentence that starts with the negative adverbial clause No sooner ...which requires inversion of subject/auxiliary and the second is the present perfect tense because the person left to go shopping at an unspecified time in the past and has not come back yet.
