I saw your watch lying on your bed a moment ago.
17 Pas also means ‘only’ and ‘not until’ (see 14.6).
18 Despite appearances juist ‘correct’ does not usually mean ‘just’ in the temporal
sense, only zojuist does.
19 All expressions of this type, i.e. ‘as (adj./adv.) as possible’ take the form zo +
adj./adv. + mogelijk where the second ‘as’ is not translated: zo laat/groot/dik mogelijk
‘as late/large/fat as possible’.
