(with, into) j) Had I been there, I ........... every part of the city. (had visited, would have visited)

a) left: the main clause after "No sooner had ... than" uses the simple past. b) gave: past tense to match "liked". c) is: the verb agrees with the first subject "He"; "as well as" does not change the number. d) are: "More books than one" has a plural noun, so the verb is plural. e) before: "before next Monday" refers to a fixed point in the future ("within" is used for periods). f) after: a past journey, "after two days". g) will drop: "or else" gives a warning, and the future is used. h) By whom was it done?: the passive of "Who did it?". i) into: "run into difficulties". j) would have visited: third conditional ("Had I been there").
