What part of speech is the word just?

The word "just" can be several parts of speech, depending on how it's used in a sentence:

* Adverb: This is the most common usage. It modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, indicating time, manner, or degree.

* Example: "I just finished my homework." (modifying the verb "finished")

* Adjective: Used to describe something as fair, honest, or right.

* Example: "It's a just decision."

* Conjunction: Used to connect two clauses and indicate a contrast.

* Example: "He was wrong, just as I thought."

To determine the part of speech, look at its function in the sentence.
