Contents

刚 expresses that the action happened not long ago. It's used the same way as 刚刚.
Subject + 刚 + V.
Examples
- 他 刚 走。He just left.

- 我 刚 吃 完 饭。We just ate a meal.
- 我 刚 做 完 今天 的 工作。I just finished today's work.
- 宝宝 刚 起床。Baby just got out of bed.
Structure
刚 can also express "from the time an action happens until the present time".
Subject + 刚 + VO + Duration
Examples
- 我 刚 到 这里 五 分钟。I just got here five minutes ago.
- 我 刚 来 中国 半 年。I just got to China six months ago.
- 我 刚 学 中文 两 个 星期。I just started studying Chinese two weeks ago.
Make sure you pay attention to "刚来一会儿。" and "刚来没一会儿。". Both have the same meaning, expressing that the 来 happened a short while ago.
