既然⋯⋯，就⋯⋯
The structure '既然...就...'
Explanation
The structure '既然...就...' is used to express that since some matter or reason is already clear, obvious, or accepted, the following result or action is natural or reasonable. '既然' sets out the premise, '就' follows with the result. Example: '既然这事你已经决定了' (since you have already decided on this) → '我就不说什么了' (then I won't say anything more). Similarly, '既然外面下雨了' (since it's raining outside) → '我们就明天再去吧' (then let's go tomorrow instead).
