New Members kubaanglin Posted October 6, 2014 at 06:08 AM New Members Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 at 06:08 AM 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cici Burger Posted October 10, 2014 at 07:58 AM Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 at 07:58 AM 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.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
