Если предложение начинается с отрицательного или ограничительного выражения (never, only after, not only, no sooner, rarely, seldom, not once, under no circumstances), то после него идёт обратный порядок слов, как в вопросе: вспомогательный глагол стоит перед подлежащим. Если вспомогательного глагола нет (Past Simple, Present Simple), добавляем do / did.

- No sooner had he boiled the kettle than the doorbell rang — Past Perfect: had ставим перед he.

- Under no circumstances are you to go out after dark — глагол to be (are) выносим перед подлежащим.
