不是 + A + 就是 + B: 不是 A 就是 B means there are only two likely choices: if it is not A, then it is B.
Use 不是...就是... when the speaker limits the situation to two alternatives. The two parts should be parallel, such as two places, two people, or two actions. It often suggests 'almost always one of these two.' Do not use it when there are many open possibilities.
