This is the 4651st most frequent Chinese word.
然後
"然後" means "then" or "afterwards."
In this sentence, '然後' (ránhòu) is used as a conjunction to indicate the sequence of actions, showing what the speaker will do after completing the first action.
我先做完功課,然後去看电影。
I will finish my homework first, and then go to watch a movie.
'然後' (ránhòu) here again functions as a connector between two actions, implying causation or a subsequent event resulting from the described preceding situation.
天气变冷了,然后我们穿上了厚衣服。
The weather became colder, and then we put on warm clothes.
In this example, '然後' serves as a marker of chronological order, denoting that the subsequent action took place after the first one.
