   What is the difference between'scarcely' and 'hardly'?

   • The point to note here is that the two consecutive events that ’scarcely’ is describing are not comparisons. So, rather than using the conjunction ‘than’, we use the ‘then’. Same is the case with ‘hardly’. Hardly literally means ‘almost no’, ‘almost not’, or ‘almost none’. It is quite similar to ‘scarcely’, but a lot less formal.
