Uitleg
"No sooner...than" is the appropriate correlative conjunction. This means that whenever you use "no sooner", the appropriate conjunction is "than".
The complete sentence would be: "No sooner had he arrived home than it started to rain."
The conjunction is used to indicate that one event happens immediately after another. In this case, the sentence means that as soon as he arrived home, it started to rain.
