JUST LIKE (can you use it in the sentence?)

JUST LIKE??? Can you use JUST LIKE like this? Does it sound natural

- She's supposed to be at her post at 6am just like we're supposed to be at ours at 10pm. No ones supposed to arrive late. (can you use JUST LIKE like that or would you say it some ohter way?)

Thank you

I often hear it used this way. I'd call the usage casual rather than formal. Your contraction needs an appostrophe: No one's supposed to arrive etc.

Thank you Avangi,

I just had one last question regarding JUST AS. How would you say the bold part of this sentence?

He can come at 5 just as he can come at 8pm. You never know with him. He's always late.

Thank you

He can come at 5pm or 8pm. With him, you never know. He's always late.


In conversation, we sometimes have the habit of using too many words. When writing, it's ideal to use the fewest words to communicate the thought. Generally, this allows the reader to take in the information faster and clearer.
