Conditions with "yao" and "jiu"

Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

The 要⋯⋯就⋯⋯ grammar structure can be used to express the same meaning as 如果⋯⋯就 However, 要⋯⋯就⋯⋯ is more intense and resolute, similar to imperative sentences (command sentences). Therefore, 要⋯⋯就⋯⋯ sentences typically do not have a subject, but they can have a topic. This grammar form is similar to the English "If you want to (verb) just (verb)..." 要 + Verb + 就 + Verb …… Note that the verbs in this pattern are usually single-syllable verbs. It's possible to modify the second verb a little bit as well, as long as it's short.
