just as vs as soon as

Hi, I suggest you use very simple examples to explain. 'As soon as the phone rang, I picked it up' . This means it rang and then I picked it up immediately.

Hi,

I suggest you use very simple examples to explain.

'As soon as the phone rang, I picked it up'.

This means it rang and then I picked it up immediately.

'Just as the phone rang, I picked it up'.

The 2 events happened at the same time. Probably I was about to make a call when it rang.
