1. “jiu” is used to indicate short time, it is used for future and past tense, for example:

nǐ shén me shí hòu lái? = when will you come?

wǒ jiù lái = I’m coming soon

2. “jiu” could be used as “only” for example:

Who ate the bread? Is that you, Benny? (With angry tone)

Besides this, “jiu” can also be used to emphasize the object, for example:

nǐ hǎo, wǒ zhǎo Benny = hello, I’m looking for Benny

wǒ jiù shì = I am
