In order to say that something "just now" occurred, use the time noun 刚才 (gāngcái). It can be placed in front of the verb or the subject of a statement. This grammar structure is pretty straightforward. Similar to the English "just now," you can put 刚才 (gāngcái) right before the verb in a sentence. It can also come before or after the subject. ![]() Structure: 刚才 + Verb Examples: 你刚才说什么了?(nǐ gāngcái shuō shénme le) = What did you just say? 刚才谁来了?(gāngcái shéi lái le) = Who came just now? 刚才你去哪儿了?(gāngcái nǐ qù nǎr le) = Where did you go just now? 刚才我去洗手间了。(gāngcái wǒ qù xǐshǒujiān le) = I just went to the restroom. 老板刚才生气了。(lǎobǎn gāngcái shēngqì le) = The boss just got angry. 你们刚才在看 什么?(nǐmen gāngcái zài kàn shénme) = What were you looking at just now? 不好意思,我刚才出去了。(bù hǎoyìsi, wǒ gāngcái chūqù le) = I'm sorry, I just now stepped out. 宝宝刚才哭了。(bǎobao gāngcái kū le) = The baby just cried. 他们刚才去开会了。(tāmen gāngcái qù kāihuì le) = They just went to a meeting. 刚才有人找你。(gāngcái yǒu rén zhǎo nǐ) = Just now, there was someone looking for you. Note that for all of those cases, we're talking about something that happened just now, within the past 5 minutes or so. If you're talking about something that "just happened" yesterday or last week, don't use 刚才 (gāngcái), use 刚 (gāng). # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language ![]() ![]() # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students ![]() # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟ ![]() ![]() Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ,200 teachers ,more 10000 students,200+companies ![]() |
