How can I say this sentence in other words: ''No sooner had he arrived took place.
Can you give some context?accident
No sooner had he arrived than the accident took place.An accident
Since this is the first mention of an accident, you use the indefinite article, 'a/an'.
However, now that we know about the accident, I will refer to it as "the accident" - since we both know which accident we are referring to.
