Hint
1 Use 一...就... construction
Hint 2 ... 了O 就 ... can also be used
Answer 我 一 吃 完 饭 就 作 练 习 。 Listen
Comments Alternatively: 我 吃 了 饭 就 作 练 习
wǒ chīle fàn jiù zuò liànxí. The 一...就...
yī…jiù…construction is similar to the V 了...就...
Vle…jiù…construction, which is used in the alternative answer. Both constructions imply that the second action happens immediately after the first action is completed. The difference is that the 一...就...
yī…jiù… construction can be used to form four-character expressions by placing monosyllabic verbs after 一
yī and 就
jiù, as in 一 说 就 懂
yì shuō jiù dǒng
as soon as it was said, (he) understood it. 一 修 就 好
yì xiū jiù hǎo
as soon as he
