Just means 'a short time ago'. We use just with the present perfect and past perfect tenses (have been, had been, etc.). We put just between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.
Here's how:
- First, write a topic sentence that summarizes your point. This is the first sentence of your paragraph.
- Next, write your argument, or why you feel the topic sentence is true.
- Finally, present your evidence (facts, quotes, examples, and statistics) to support your argument.
When to use "just" in a sentence? Just is most commonly used as an adverb together with the present perfect tense. In this context, just means 'a short time ago', and is positioned between the auxiliary verb (had/ have/has) and the past participle. For example: I've just spoken to John.
Use 'due to' only to modify nouns. Usage of 'due to' is correct, if the sentence makes sense when 'due to' is replaced with 'caused by'. Use 'because of' to modify verbs.
What type of word is just? As detailed above, 'just' can be an adjective, an adverb, a noun or a verb. Adjective usage: It is a just assessment of the facts.
A conjunction (also called a connective) is a word such as and, because, but, for, if, or, and when. Conjunctions are used to connect phrases, clauses, and sentences. There are two main kinds of conjunction.
What is the adverb for just? just. Only, simply, merely. (sentence adverb) Used to reduce the force of an imperative; simply.
The words only and just are interchangeable if the meaning is “only,” but not if the meaning is “very recently; in the immediate past.”
For the most part, it is NOT used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g., “Without further delay.”). It is synonymous with “additional.” By contrast, “furthermore” is an adverb that doesn't modify anything. It IS generally used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g., “Furthermore, they allow pets.”).
"Furthermore" is similar to "in addition." Use "furthermore" to add more information in your sentence. It's a little formal, but you can use it when speaking English. Sometimes, the second part of the sentence that follows "furthermore" contains information more pertinent (important) than the first part.
The question I get asked most frequently about however is whether it is OK to use however at the beginning of a sentence, and the answer is yes: it is fine to start a sentence with however. You just need to know when to use a comma and when to use a semicolon.
Also, as well and too are adverbs and mean 'in addition'. … Also is commonly used in writing, but is less common in speaking.
A conjunction is the glue that holds words, phrases and clauses (both dependent and independent) together. There are three different kinds of conjunctions -- coordinating, subordinating, and correlative -- each serving its own, distinct purpose, but all working to bring words together.
