Help me with this doubt :) So I'm studying by myself and in my book this sentence came up: 電話をかけてから、友達のうちへいきます。 I don't really understand this sentence, knowing the meaning of the words my silly guess is: when I phone, I go to my friends house. Which makes 0 sense to me, but the next sentence(which is the same structure) I think I actually understand the meaning because of the verb tense: うちへかえってから、晩ごはんを食べました。 When I went home , I ate my dinner. Is it me or the Te form of kakemasu is translated as a past tense cause of the verb tabemas being in past tense? 1: What does the first sentence mean? 2: Am I right with the second one? Thank you! :D
