<h1>Events in quick succession with "yi... jiu..."</h1>

<p>This pattern tells us that as soon as one thing happens, then another thing happens immediately afterwards. You mark the two events with 一 (yī) and 就 (jiù).</p>

<h2>Used as "as soon as"</h2>

<h3>Structure</h3>

<p>The pattern involves two different events, the first preceded by "一," and then the second event, which follows in quick succession, preceded by 就.
</p>
<div class="deux">一 + Event 1，就 + Event 2</div>

<p>The subjects of the two "Events" can be the same, but they don't have to be. If they're the same, then you don't need to repeat the subject for the second one.
</p>
<h3>Examples</h3>

<div class="exemple"><ul><li><span style="font-size: 20px;">饿 死了，我 一 下课 就 要 去 吃 午饭 。

</ul>
</div>

<h2>Used as "Every Time"</h2>

<h3>Structure</h3>

<p>In this case, 一 means "every time," followed by some certain condition, which could be the reason or the cause of what happens after 就. The subjects of the two "Events" are usually the same.</p>
<div class="deux">
一 + Reason，就 + Result</div>
