GRAMMAR
Review. 就 jiù
Before we have learned many usages of Adverb 就:
 See also (1) 时间副词 (shíjiānfùcí, Adverb of Time) 就 indicating "very soon in a short time". |
| See also (2) 肯定副词 (kěndìngfùcí, Positive Adverb) 就 indicating "exactly; precisely". |
| See also (3) 时间副词 (shíjiānfùcí, Adverb of Time) 就 indicating “very soon after”, “quickly after”. |
In today's lesson, Adverb 就 is used to take over previous context and carry on the sentence.
Grammar 1. 为了……，就……

Let's see some example sentences:
- Wèile fāngbiàn jiē sòng háizi shàngxué, tā jiù mǎi le yí liàng xīn chē.
为了方便接送孩子上学，他就买了一辆新车。
For(-the purpose of) make-convenient picking-up-(and)-sending (the) child to-attend-school, he “then” bought one “liang” (of) new vehicle. - Tā wèile míngtiān bù chídào, jīntiān jiù shuì de hěn zǎo.

Grammar 2. 那/那么（……，）就……
Nà/nàme (……,) Jiù…… ▸ (In That Case) “Then” (…) “Then”…
Let's see some example sentences:
- Nǐ xuǎn zhè ge fángjiān ma? Nà wǒ jiù xuǎn pángbiān nà ge ba!

You pick this “ge” (of) room(, right)? “Then” I “then” (will) pick that “ge” (of room on the) side! - Nǐ hái méi míngbai ma? Nà wǒ jiù zài shuō yí ge lìzi ba!
你还没明白吗？那我就再说一个例子吧！
You still (have) not understand? “Then” I “then” again say one “ge” (of) example!
The Subject in a long Sentence can sometimes be omitted if it’s the same as the previous Subject：
- Nǐ bù tóngyì, nà nǐ jiù gàosu dàjiā, dàjiā huì lǐjiě de.
你不同意，那你就告诉大家，大家会理解的。
You (do) not agree, “then” you “then” tell everyone, everyone will understand (it). - Nǐ bù tóngyì, nà jiù gàosu dàjiā, dàjiā huì lǐjiě de.
