В чем разница между just и only ?Пожалуйста, приведите примеры.

@SwarS: The word “just” has several possible definitions:

1) Recently

Be careful – I just washed the floor, and it’s still wet.
(= I washed the floor a few minutes ago)He just finished a big project.
(= he finished the project very recently)

2) Only

I have just one brother. (= I have only one brother)I thought you were hungry, but you atejust half of your sandwich.
(= you ate only half of your sandwich, and no more)

The word “only” can be replaced with “just” in most situations:

Only two students came to class on the day before Christmas.
= Just two students came to class on the day before Christmas.My kids only use the internet for schoolwork, not for playing games.
= My kids just use the internet for schoolwork, not for playing games.

In the expression “If only…” you can use “just” if you change the structure a little bit:

If only I had studied harder. I would’ve passed the test.
= If I had just studied harder, I would’ve passed the test.
