Usages of toe
Toe haar telefoon gelui het, het sy die koerant op die tafel gesit.
When her telephone rang, she put the newspaper on the table.
Toe ek die brief oopgemaak het, het 'n foto uit die koevert op die vloer geval.
When I opened the letter, a photo fell out of the envelope onto the floor.
Toe ons die adres weer gelees het, het ons die brief in die posbus gesit.
When we read the address again, we put the letter in the mailbox.
Toe ek by die poskantoor aankom, het die posbode reeds vertrek.
When I arrived at the post office, the mail carrier had already left.
Toe sy haar fout sien, het sy 'n posseël op die koevert geplak.
When she saw her mistake, she stuck a stamp on the envelope.
Toe sy die opskrif in die koerant lees, het sy gelag en die artikel vir haar suster gewys.
When she read the headline in the newspaper, she laughed and showed the article to her sister.
Test yourself: What does toe mean?
