How to use 就

[kubaanglin]

I am supposed to translate the sentence "I'll go shopping if its a nice day tomorrow." using 就, but I have no idea how to do it. Could someone please explain this to me?

You probably want to use the 如果...就 pattern (如果 can be omitted):

There are many ways to use 就，

1. to emphasis things, like you will say :  这就是他。 （ This is him.),  Here you use 就 to emphasis this is the person we mentioned before. 

2. 如果……就……（ if ……） this is the most common way you use 就

3. 一……就……   this means there are two events, and once you have ifnished event 1( put it after ”一“）， you will do event 2 ( put it after "就”）. 

   eg: 我一回家就吃晚饭。 （ As soon as I get home, i have my dinner.)
