only
and just
mean the same thing? Well, sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t. Watch this video to find out when we use each word. I will teach you several ways to use these words in different contexts. I’ll also give you lots of examples, so that you understand when the words are used as adjectives and when they are adverbs. We will practice together first and then you’ll get a quiz to do on your own.

It’s nice lesson, but still confusing for me
Me too. Questions and answers appear in Spanish. Example: solo/solamente.
I don’t want to be translated in Spanish. How can I do?
I fixed it :)
What a strange bug. How did you fix it?
Reemplaza only por único y just por solamente. Good luck!
Yes, me too.
Replace only by unique. If you don’t translate with only, make with just.
I am the second
Thanks for the class. Great!
Thx so much for this class
I think I need to watch it again
J.Walker is the ONLY one who became rich thanks to his booK.
Great and useful lesson, thanks.
Dear James,
As you propose in the end of the video, as an extra activity…
I’ve been traveling across the country with the only propose of learn new things and I was running out of money with just the enough to eat, to drink a beer, to sleep and to pay the bus tickets.
I really appreciate the huge effort you do to give us the best quality classes and the most important thing, and is not the only one, but is that thing that make us more interested,is your passion to teach.
Have a nice day, James!
Yours truly,
Guilherme
Shouldn’t it be “propose of learning”?
Good
Good
very useful lesson thank you
i’ve just done it. thank you. it’s useful lesson.
Thanks a lot, James ! Have a good day
I really like this lesson. Now, I can make the difference between those words only and just.
Thank you!
Great lesson, thanks a lot for your effort. and nice t-shirt :D
I feel difference in the last sentence. Assume that you and your 5 friends want to buy 6 tickets. But there were only 5 tickets available. Or the other case, if you need only 5 tickets and there are the last 5 available for you, you can say there were only 5 tickets available and no more left.
So, the “just” means “exactly” in case fit your needs, but the “only” in this case can means that not enought.
Should the sellel say one or another (just/only) in both case?
Thanks.
I’ve just done the quiz. I had only one mistake:)
Thanks James!

Thank you. I just can`t stop learning, as you are the only tutor that makes learning simple and interesting to me.
9 out of 9, thank you James.
The only thing to improve your English is keep practicing. You just need to trust yourself that you can. Sometimes people will mock at you because they only pay attention at your mistakes. Just ignore them. We’re all know that the only person who can make you better is YOU. Just don’t give up :)
Well, that’s my paragraph for the homework. Hope you guys like it. Thank you!
good score 9 out of 9. you just explain us the the way to use these words. I think engvid is the only helpful website for learning english. i had just finished my homework when my roomate asked my to light off the room. So Good night And thank you James.

you aren’t the only one who teach English but i just want to say “you’re the best one “
Nice Lesson James….I got 10 correct answers. You are the only professor I’ve understood this subject. Now, I just keeping working harder to master it.
Hello!Teacher I have a question for you about a sentence that i didn’t understand and that is this THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH I CAN DO , and it’s in a context. And then would you give me a clear answer, please.
It’s really interesting, I’ve just learn the difference 9/9 so I’m jubilant, thank you so much :).
Hi James! I didnt understand why this answer was wrong in my quiz, I answered adverb…and it is adjective…:
4. “And that was the only time I’ve ever seen a wild deer.”
What is the function of “only” in this sentence?
adverb
adjective
Hi Kenia Torres.
My English isn’t very good but I will try to help.
In this particular sentence “only” is used as adjective.
Why?
Word “only” is modifier that modifies the word “time”. “time is a noun. Adjectives describe nouns.
I hope you will understand me.
If I’m wrong. Please someone correct me :)
Once again, sorry but my english is not very good. Especially my grammar is poor.
Thank You.
easy to understand, thanks teacher
Dear James,
My name is Andrius. I have just watched your video and the only thing that comes in my mind is that is just brilliant guidance, just what I was looking for to get me started on learning English. The only thing I think its missing is worksheets.
Thank you Mr. James!
Homework:
Books are important for us. Books are not only rooms, they are everywhere. You don’t have to read just papers. You can read computers, tablets, mobiles. We don’t improve only imagine. I think, we don’t just read. We should believe to talk them.
( Is it okey? Hopefully,you are read and
answer me. :) )
I just want to go to bed. I just ate a huge dinner. I have just enough energy to lie down on the bed. I know, I know, overeating is just stupid. Only fools do it. However, this meal smelled deliciously. It was the only decision I could make.
What do you think about my homework? Are these good or bad sentences?
Can I say “It’s the only place that I like to eat or It’s the only place I like to eat”?
Hello, James
thank you for your good teaching. I learned a lot
Thanks James for your superb lesson.
You are a awesome teacher.
Hi James,
want to check with you, “JUST” & “ONLY” can use in the same sentence?
for example: ” I just only want to eat my breakfast!”
or :” I just had my lunch only!”
home work : I’m watching this lesson right now and this lesson JUST ı needed. İts very basic and interesting. You are the only teacher who I understand very easy. My english level is not advance, it’s just beginner but I improve it step by step. The only thing ı want is to continue your lessons. thanks James…

When i just start the video, i was foques only in the t-shirt of James, because it’s exacly the same that i had jaja. That’s because my mum is paraguayan, she is the only paraguayan on family and also she saw the video at the same time of me, so she just started to scream “that’s a paraguayan guy” XD jajaj
just and only similar sixty percent I Just can’t believe I thought only is synonym of just.
This video is really helpful.Sometimes I use only where will be use just. It’s really helpful for me.
I watched the video twice on June 23, 2021, and took the quiz after watching it once. I got nine correct out of 9.
It looks like easy ,as matter a fact it contain lots of accumulation basic language skill.
The office party wasn’t only for employees, so it was just what he needed. He had come there just in time and was the only person who could handle this terrible situation.
In this lesson, I just learned properly were to use “just” and “only”… Thanks a lot James.
I got all of them right.
It was amazing lesson, thnk’s ! Just wonderfull!
It just an ineffable lesson and you are the only person who can deliver a piece of information like this, stay safe couch James
Thank you James! You are the only person who speaks fast on Engvid. :) (it’s my personal opinion).
9/9 I am just happy that I managed to get all of the questions correctly.
James, just keep doing. You’re the only one who explains tough topics in such smooth manner which I just admire a lot. Thank you guy. Greetings from Morocco 🇲🇦.
I got 8/9 score. Qestion#3 was my only mistake.
That’s all. Thanks for your lesson.
I was too late for my class so i ran fast to arrive just in time .
The class was crowded so i sat next to the door.it was the only chair i could have.
After that i had to run again to catch up my meeting with a client .
When i arrived to the bus station ,i had just missed the bus.
It was the only one to take me around my meeting area.
Luckyly my client saw me at the bus station and gave me a ride.
It was a crazy day full of running.
good lesson, james
My homework:
I am personal fitness coach and have a lot of clients. In my schedule I have just 5 minutes between my fitness guests. I train only one person on my lesson. When you star training you have a lot of enthusiasm, but it is just beginning and need much discipline for reach your goal and you are only who can do it. Just do it!
Thanks a lot for this funny lesson dear James from Canada
Thank you James!
I just got 9 correct out of 9 in the test, it is not the only quiz that I got 100% correct.
I wrote this comment just want you know that you are great, perhaps you are not the only one but one of the best teachers of engvid.
Regards
James, you are the best.
Like, honestly, you are an essential part of my day.
I’m just getting started, and I’m willing to master English like it’s my own mother language.
