only just or just only

Hey guys, I have a doubt, wich is the correct form? For example, I've only just arrived home or I've just only arrived home.

Thanks for your comments

I've only just arrived home.

 

In these exampes:

only means 'a singular thing'

just means 'recently and only'

 

So, only is redundant and actually adds nothing to the sentence.

 

Do you know the song by the Carpenters: "We've Only Just Begun"

The first one is correct!

Never use the second option! It is grammatically wrong.

I've just listened that song, thank you.
