Hey guys just some questions.

1) What does 就要.............了 mean?

2) 为 mean for right? However I'm not sure how to use it in sentences so if people come give me some examples I'd be really grateful

For wei, you need to use it in context, there really isn't a general definition for it, but if you really want one it means "for" or "do".

In terms of using it, it takes time and practice and reading more sentences that use it.

jiu yao means 'to be able', that's about it, and the le means knowing it clearly. The entire phrase cliche can only be used in certain cases. You should probably try not to depend on cliche phrases too much, they're only starting points.

1) 就要.............了 means 'just about to...' For example, you can say 我们就要出门了(We are just about to go out)


2) 为 can have many meanings, one of them being 'for'. (So, in this case, it is pronounced with the 4th tone). Here are some examples:

我为他开门 (I open the door for him )

为了他，我要好好工作 (For his sake, I'm going to work hard)

不要为他做家事 (Don't do the housework for him)


Hope that helps
