I have no idea what number 7 means, and also I am kinda confused when it comes to sentences number 6 and 8 because I don't know when "治っ たら" means "when", "if" or "after".
Usually I would prefer to use "たら" for "if" and "あとで" for "after". Can't remember the alternative for "when", though. |
It isn't as if there were a Japanese word for each individual English word. たら can mean all three and the context would tell which one would be most appropriate for the translation.
