[JLPT grammar] How to use てから(after)
Today I am going to share the homework correction quoted from my JLPT N4 course!
The student’s sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?
[Student’s sentence]
サラダを作ってから、朝ごはんを食べました。
*さらだをつくってから、あさごはんをたべました。

[My correction]
サラダを作ってから、朝ごはんを食べました。
→サラダを作って、朝ごはんを食べました。
I made a salad and had breakfast.
〜てから is not used for explicit time relationships.
If salad is your breakfast menu, you can’t have breakfast without salad.
Same as this example;
×ドアを開けてから、外に出ました。
◎ドアを開けて、外に出ました。
I opened the door and went outside.
I have to open the door to go outside.
To simply indicate that the actions are in sequence, use 〜て.
I hope my explanation helps you. 😊
In the JLPT course, all lessons come with homework, if you submit your homework, I will reply with corrections.
I can break down the Japanese grammar and point out mistakes, explaining the structure and nuances of Japanese in an easy-to-understand way.
You can also ask me any questions as much as you want. I will teach you until you get it!
