Hello and welcome to Nihongoいちにのさん!!
Let's study Japanese grammar together.
〜たら②：Definite condition
Your classmate asks you about your plans after class.
You're thinking of going to a cafe after class ends.
What should you say?
In such a case, you should say to your friend like this "授業が終わったら、カフェへ行きます（じゅぎょうがおわったら、カフェへいきます）。"
Today let's learn about "〜たら②：Definite condition".
👉<Use>
A definite condition refers to what is considered "certain to happen."
Using "～たら," it describes the action or plan that follows if that event occurs.
The preceding clause states an event certain to happen in the future.
The action or plan following the preceding clause comes in the consequent clause.
In this case, "〜もし" is not used.
"授業が終わったら、カフェへ行きます（じゅぎょうがおわったら、カフェへいきませんか）。" means "After class, I'll go to a cafe."
preceding clause：授業が終わります
consequent clause：カフェへ行きます
"授業が終わります(the class ends.)" is a future event the speaker considers certain to occur. After this certain event happens, they state their plan “カフェへ行きます(to go to the cafe.)”
※We have learned about "〜たら①：Hypothetical condition".
"雨が降ったら、映画を見に行きませんか（あめがふったら、えいがをみにいきませんか）。" means "If it rains, why not go see a movie?"
The preceding clause “雨が降ります(it rains)" in this example sentence is not a certainty.
It is an event that may occur, but its realization is unknown at the time of utterance.
When it is uncertain whether such a situation will occur, it becomes a hypothetical condition.
