Grammar 语法
Already: 已经 + verb + 了
。
已经 (yǐjīng) goes before the verb and 了 comes at the end. 他已经上班了 = He has already gone to work. To say 'not yet', use 还没 + verb: 我还没起床.
Every: 每 + measure + noun + 都
。
每 = every. Add 都 before the verb to stress 'without exception'. 每天 (every day), 每个人 (everyone), 每次 (every time).
Duration: verb + time span
。
How long something lasts goes AFTER the verb: 睡了七个小时 (slept seven hours). Compare: a point in time (七点) goes BEFORE the verb.
Early: 就
。
就 after a time word means 'as early as / already then'. 我六点就起床了 = I got up as early as six. It often pairs with 了.
