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).

- [1 Used as "as soon as"](#Used_as_.22as_soon_as.22 "wikilink") - [1.1 Structure](#Structure "wikilink") - [1.2 Examples](#Examples "wikilink") - [2 Used as "Every Time"](#Used_as_.22Every_Time.22 "wikilink") - [2.1 Structure](#Structure_2 "wikilink") - [2.2 Examples](#Examples_2 "wikilink") - [3 Sources and further reading](#Sources_and_further_reading "wikilink") - [3.1 Books](#Books "wikilink") - [4 See also](#See_also "wikilink")

Used as "as soon as" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Structure The pattern involves two different events, the first preceded by "一," and then the second event, which follows in quick succession, preceded by 就.

一 + Event 1，就 + Event 2

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. ### Examples

- 饿死了，我 *一* 下课 *就* 要去吃午饭。È sǐ le, wǒ *yī* xiàkè *jiù* yào qù chī wǔfàn.I'm starving. I'm going to have lunch as soon as class is over. - 你能不能 *一* 下班 *就* 去接孩子？Nǐ néng bu néng *yī* xiàbān *jiù* qù jiē háizi?Can you go to pick up our kid as soon as you get off work? - 妈妈 *一* 到家 *就* 去做饭了。Māma *yī* dào jiā *jiù* qù zuòfàn le.As soon as mom arrived home, she went off to cook. - 老师 *一* 来大家 *就* 不说话了。Lǎoshī *yī* lái dàjiā *jiù* bù shuōhuà le.As soon as the teacher came , everyone stopped talking. - 我 *一* 进门，小狗 *就* 跑了过来。Wǒ *yī* jìn mén, xiǎogǒu *jiù* pǎo le guòlái.As soon as I walked in the door, the puppy ran over to me.

Used as "Every Time" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Structure 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.

一 + Reason，就 + Result

### Examples

- 我 *一* 想到这件事 *就* 不高兴。Wǒ *yī* xiǎngdào zhè jiàn shì *jiù* bù gāoxìng.Every time I think about this, I get upset. - 她 *一* 生气 *就* 脸红。Tā *yī* shēngqì *jiù* liǎn hóng.Every time she gets angry, her face turns red. - 你怎么 *一* 吃火锅 *就* 拉肚子？Nǐ zěnme *yī* chī huǒguō *jiù* lādùzi?How come you have diarrhea every time you eat hotpot? - 他 *一* 上英语课 *就* 想睡觉。Tā *yī* shàng Yīngyǔ kè *jiù* xiǎng shuìjiào.Every time he takes English class, he feels like falling asleep. - *一* 说到物理，我 *就* 头疼。*Yī* shuōdào Wùlǐ, wǒ *jiù* tóuténg.Every time we talk about physics, it gives me headache.
