The idiomatic phrase "no sooner" is used with a verb and "than" in the context of "immediately thereafter." The word whenshould not be used.Example:No sooner had I called the police than the party completely dispersed.I had no sooner unpacked than the bellboy informed me that I had to change rooms.This stems from the more formal use, e.g, Your order will arrive no sooner than next week.
The word then can be a conjunction, and also an adverb (and hyphenated as an adjective).The word than is also a conjunction, used as a comparative. Arguably, it serves as a preposition where there the understood verb is missing. (He is taller than I, or He is taller than me)Confusion can occur in sentences using sooner...than (e.g. He had no sooner entered the house than a quarrel erupted). Sooner does not pair with then.

These two phrases have overlapping meanings but are not exactly synonymous. No sooner ... than can generally be replaced by as soon as, but as soon as cannot always be replaced by no sooner ... than.No sooner is always followed by than and emphasises that one thing happened immediately after another. It is normally used in the past tense. For example:'No sooner had I finished my meal than the doorbell rang.''No sooner did it stop raining than I found my umbrella.'(Note that the subject/verb order in the no sooner ...clause must be reversed: 'had I finished', not 'I had finished'; 'did it stop', not 'it stopped'.)As soon as can be used instead, but it is less emphatic than no sooner ... than:'As soon as I had finished my meal, the doorbell rang.''As soon as it stopped raining, I found my umbrella.'As soon as can also be used with the present and future tenses, unlike no sooner ... than:'As soon as it stops raining, I'll go to the shops.''He will send you the book as soon as you send him the money.'
早く寝る (hayaku neru) is perhaps the easiest way to convey the notion of "going to bed earlier". In general, to say you want to do something sooner, you can add the adverbial form of the adjective 早い (hayai) to the verb and it will indicate "sooner" or "earlier".
No, sooner is an adverb. But there is a proper noun Sooner, a nickname applied to pioneers in the Oklahoma Territory.
No sooner met but they looked, No sooner looked but they loved, No sooner loved but they sighed, No sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason, No sooner the reason but they sought the remedy, And in these degrees they made a pair of stairs to marriage. Shakespeare, As you Like it
I need to leave for the airport sooner than expected.

The Sooner State

A "sooner dog" can look like most any dog. Sooner isn't a breed of dog, it's more like it's a descriptive word for an attitude. I believe that "sooner" is a name for a dog that would "sooner" do this or that as to do that or this. In other words it's the sort of dog that would sooner urinate on the carpet than urinate on a tree. You can substitute the italics with most any things he would "sooner" do.
