Grammar / Notes

  • 〜てから (after doing) attaches to the て-form and means ‘after doing X’: the action before it is completed first, and the main clause follows. (“After finishing work, I went to the supermarket.”)
  • 〜だけ and counters after a noun or a counter means ‘only’. A counter such as , or gives a number of things and usually stands right before the verb. (“But, there was only one egg there.”)
