When to use 就 and 还是 for “Exactly” and “Still”
Mood adverbs go before the verb and show how the speaker feels about a fact. 就, often before 是 or 在, stresses that something is exactly so: 我就是王明 (“I am Wang Ming, that’s me”), 超市就在前面 (“the supermarket is right ahead”). 还是 means “still”: something stays the same even after an effort or a change: 我问了老师，可是还是不懂. 都 + a time or amount + 了 means “already”, with the feeling that it is late or a lot: 都十点了.
我问了老师，可是还是不懂。
I asked the teacher, but I still don’t understand.
都十点了，你快睡觉吧。
It’s already ten o’clock, go to sleep.
这就是我的家。
This is my home, right here.
我就要这个，别的都不要。
This is the one I want; I don’t want any of the others.

- 就 goes before the verb, not before the noun: say 学校就在前面, not 就学校在前面.
- Don’t read every 还是 as “or”: in 他还是去了 it means “still, even so”.
- 还是 goes before the negative: say 他还是没来, not 他没还是来.
