The te-forms of verbs (Vte) are also used to mean 'V and -.' The difference
between Vmasu and Vte is as follows.
Basically, in "Vlte - V2)' there is a close relationship between the action in
V1 and that in V2. No such relationship exists between V1 and V2 in
"Vlmasu - V2." Usage restrictions differ depending on the subjects of V1
and V2.
A. When-the subjects of V1 and V2 are the same:
A-1. Vte

In general, "Vlte - VT is used when the two actions are closely related and
the sequence is important. More specifically, Vte is used in situations like
those in [I] - [3].
[I] When one action (V2) cannot take place until another action (V1)
takes place, as in (a) and (b):
