Després, tornaré a casa, guardaré la jaqueta i prepararé el sopar.

Catalan often drops subject pronouns when they are not needed. The verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

So:

• tornaré = I will return
• guardaré = I will put away / keep
• prepararé = I will prepare

You could say jo tornaré..., but jo is usually only added for emphasis or contrast.

In this sentence, all three verbs are in the future tense, first person singular:

• tornaré = I will return
• guardaré = I will put away
• prepararé = I will prepare

For many -ar verbs in Catalan, the I form of the future ends in -é.

Examples:

• parlaré = I will speak
• arribaré = I will arrive
• cuinaré = I will cook

So the ending -é here is a clue that the meaning is I will...

In this sentence, tornaré a casa means I will return home.

The expression a casa is very common and often works like English home rather than to the house.

So:

• Vaig a casa = I’m going home
• Torno a casa = I’m returning home

Even though casa literally means house/home, the whole expression is usually understood naturally as home.

Because a casa is a very common fixed expression meaning home.

Compare:

• Vaig a casa = I’m going home
• Vaig a la casa = I’m going to the house

Using la makes it sound more like a specific building. Without the article, it usually has the more natural sense of home.

Catalan uses the definite article much more often than English.

So Catalan naturally says:

• guardaré la jaqueta = I’ll put away the jacket / my jacket
• prepararé el sopar = I’ll prepare dinner

In English, we often leave out the article or use my, but Catalan often keeps el / la where English would not.

This is very normal and does not necessarily mean a special emphasis on the.

Here, guardar means something like:

• to put away
• to store
• to keep

So guardaré la jaqueta most naturally means I’ll put away the jacket.

Depending on context, guardar can also mean to keep or to save, but here put away is probably the best natural translation.

Després means afterwards, later, or then.

At the beginning of the sentence, it helps set the sequence of events:

• Després = Afterwards / Then
• tornaré a casa, guardaré la jaqueta i prepararé el sopar = I’ll return home, put away the jacket, and prepare dinner

Putting Després first is very natural when listing what happens next.

Catalan, like English, does not need and between every item in a list.

So:

• tornaré a casa, guardaré la jaqueta i prepararé el sopar

works like:

• I’ll return home, put away the jacket, and prepare dinner

Only the last item is introduced by i = and.

In Catalan, i means and.

Examples:

• pa i formatge = bread and cheese
• llegir i escriure = to read and write

So in the sentence:

• guardaré la jaqueta i prepararé el sopar

it simply links the last two actions: put away the jacket and prepare dinner.

No. They are related, but not the same structure.

Here you have:

• tornar a casa = to return home

But Catalan also has:

• tornar a + infinitive = to do something again

For example:

• Torno a llegir el missatge = I read the message again

So:

• tornaré a casa = I will return home
• tornaré a preparar el sopar = I will prepare dinner again

The meaning depends on what comes after tornar.

The accent marks show stress and are also part of the correct spelling.

In these future forms, the final -é is stressed:

• tornaré
• guardaré
• prepararé

That helps you pronounce them correctly and recognize them as future forms.

Yes, in some contexts Catalan can use the present tense to talk about near-future actions, much like English sometimes does.

For example:

• Després, torno a casa, guardo la jaqueta i preparo el sopar

This can sound like Then I’m going home, putting away the jacket, and making dinner, especially in a planned or informal context.

But the sentence you were given uses the future tense, which clearly means I will... and sounds very straightforward.

The given order is very natural, but Catalan word order is somewhat flexible.

This sentence follows a simple pattern:

• time word first: Després
• then the sequence of actions

That is a very common and clear structure.

You could move some parts around for emphasis, but the original version is the most neutral and natural for a learner to use.
