| B 5 |
| 'Just' and 'not
until' Note that môÙi 'just then, only then' is said right before the verb. This is true whether you are talking about the past or the future. When you want to say that something just happened or that you just did something,you say the time phrase at the end: 'He just came yesterday.' Study the sentences in B 5.1. When you want to say that something did not happen until yesterday or will not happen until tomorrow, say the time phrase at the beginning. The sentence 'He didn't come until yesterday' is said in Vietnamese as 'Yesterday he only then came.' The sentence 'He won't come until tomorrow is said as 'Tomorrow he only then will come.'
