Comparing 刚 and 刚才
刚 (gāng) is an adverb meaning 'just' or 'a short while ago'. It describes a recently completed action and often implies that the resulting state continues to exist. It is typically used before a verb or adjective.
刚才 (gāngcái) is a noun meaning 'just now' or 'a moment ago'. It refers to a specific time in the immediate past, and the action it describes is usually finished with no ongoing effect. 刚才 can also be used to modify nouns, as in '刚才的事'.
