Eg.'I know just the place'

It is correct. Here just means exactly. The sense is "I know a place that would be perfect for this purpose."

If the word just came before the the main verb ,would it has the same meaning exactly? so what is difference if it comes before the verb or after that?

The sentence I just know the place does not work well, because I just know usually means I am sure or I believe.

bmojtabaI know just the place
You already have your answer, but I wanted to add that if I read the sentences below I would take 'just' in two different meanings.

1. I know just the place. ~ I know exactly the (appropriate) place. (It is suitable for the purpose being discussed.)

— Where is there a good restaurant that serves

CalifJim Unfortunately I just know the place, not the time.
This and 'I only know the place, not the time' are very commonly heard and see. The purist would move 'just/only' to before 'the place'.

The purists don't seem to appreciate the principle that some lexical items "float to the left". Emotion: crying
