Time Adverbs 才, 刚, and 一直

Learn Time Adverbs 才, 刚, and 一直 with practical HSK 3 examples, focus vocabulary, common pitfalls, and targeted cloze practice.

Pattern

time adverb + verb

Use this HSK 3 pattern to make sentence structure, scope, or emphasis explicit instead of relying on word-for-word English order.

他刚到学校。

When to use Time Adverbs 才, 刚, and 一直

Read time adverb + verb as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 刚 adds to it.

我刚吃完饭。

I just finished eating.

她刚离开办公室。

She just left the office.

Common traps

  • Do not translate time adverb + verb mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 刚 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
