HSK 3 · 一…就 · 只要…就 · 只有…才
一…就, 只要…就, 只有…才
就 belongs to 只要 and 才 to 只有 — swap them and the meaning flips.
The rule
一 A 就 B: the moment A, then B — 我一到家就给你打电话。
只要 A 就 B: A alone is enough for B — 只要你去，我就去。
只有 A 才 B: only through A is B possible — 只有多练习才能进步。
只要 always takes 就, 只有 always takes 才. They never swap.
只要 A 就 B: A alone is enough for B — 只要你去，我就去。
只有 A 才 B: only through A is B possible — 只有多练习才能进步。
只要 always takes 就, 只有 always takes 才. They never swap.
