"假如⋯⋯，就⋯⋯" (jiǎrú..., jiù...) is yet another way to express "If..., then..." in Chinese, but it is much more formal than [["If… Then…" with "yaoshi"|要是]] or [["If…, then…" with "ruguo…, jiu…"|如果]] are (in both written and spoken Chinese).

==Structure==

<div class="jiegou">

假如 + Statement + 就 + Result

</div>

==Examples==

<div class="liju">

*<em>假如</em> 你 的 成绩 再 好 一点儿，你 <em>就</em> 能 申请 北大 了。<span class="trans">If your grades come up a little more, then you can apply to Beijing University.</span>
*<em>假如</em> 我 是 你，我 <em>就</em> 戒烟。<span class="trans">If I were you, I would give up smoking.</span>
*<em>假如</em> 你 的 女朋友 不 爱 你，你们 <em>就</em> 分手 吧。<span class="trans">If your girlfriend doesn't love you, then you should break up.</span>

</div>
