550 (no) ue de
However, there is a crucial difference between the two constructions: Vte
kara is used solely to indicate time sequence but Vinf .past ue de is used to
indicate a preparation for a relatively important action. Therefore, there are
cases of Vte kara which cannot be rephrased by Vinf .past ue de as in [2]. In
these examples, Vte kara part lacks the sense of prerequisite. That is why the
use of Vinf.past ue de is impossible.
