How to use 只要…就…
只要 ♬ means “as long as.” 就 ♬ marks the result that follows.
Use this pattern when one condition is enough for something to happen.
| Structure | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 只要 + condition，就 + result | As long as + condition, then + result |
只要…就… is different from 如果…就…. 如果 simply means “if,” but 只要 means the condition is enough.

| 只要你有時間，我們就可以見面。 ♬ | Zhǐyào nǐ yǒu shíjiān, wǒmen jiù kěyǐ jiànmiàn. | As long as you have time, we can meet. |
In this sentence, having time is enough for the result: meeting is possible.
