Questions & Answers about tā gāng xiàbān, jiù yòu dǎ diànhuà gěi wǒ le.

What does 刚 mean here, and how is it different from 刚才 and 刚刚?

• 刚 placed before a verb means “just (recently)” and highlights how recent the action is: 她刚下班 = “She just got off work.”
• 刚才 is a time word “a moment ago.” It refers to the time, not the manner: 她刚才给我打电话 = “She called me a moment ago.”
• 刚刚 is basically the same as 刚, a bit more colloquial/emphatic. All three often overlap; choice is mostly style and nuance.

What does the pattern 刚…就… express?

It means “as soon as … (then) …,” emphasizing that the second action happened right after the first. Here: “As soon as she got off work, she (already) called me.” It often suggests a very short interval and sometimes a sense of “so soon.”

What is 又 doing, and how is it different from 再?

• 又 = “again” for a repeated action that has already happened (past/realized), often with a hint of surprise or mild annoyance, depending on context: 她又打电话给我了.
• 再 = “again” for future or planned repetition: 明天再打电话给我 = “Call me again tomorrow.” You normally don’t use 再 with a completed-action 了 in the same clause.

Can I omit 又? What changes?
