注意したそばから、同じ間違いを繰り返す — no sooner is the person warned than they repeat the same mistake.
Tested at JLPT N1 — 10 practice questions below.
Practice 〜そばから →V(辞書形/た形)そばから means "no sooner does X happen than Y", with the nuance that the second event instantly cancels or repeats the first — a warning is given and the same mistake is made again. を皮切りに needs a noun opening a series of like events, に足る evaluates worthiness, and とあれば sets up a special motivation, so none capture an action being undone the moment it occurs.
