Questions & Answers about jugyou ga owattara, massugu ie ni kaerimasu.

Why is 終わったら used here? What does 〜たら mean?

〜たら is a very common pattern meaning when, after, or if something happens, depending on context.

Here, 授業が終わったら means:

• when class ends
• after class is over

It comes from the past plain form of the verb:

• 終わる = to end
• 終わった = ended
• 終わったら = when/after it ends

Even though 終わった looks past, 〜たら does not necessarily make the whole sentence past. It often means once that event happens, then...

So the structure is:

• A たら、B
• When/after A happens, B

In this sentence:

• 授業が終わったら、まっすぐ家に帰ります。
• When class ends, I go straight home.
