"다리를 건너서 터널에 들어가세요."

Translation: After crossing the bridge, go in the tunnel.

[Zara859041]

Is "Cross the bridge and then enter the tunnel" incorrect? And if so, why? What am I missing?

[josueetcom]

That should be right. Flag it

[GeraldMath4]

I flagged it a couple times today, then did it their way just to get out of the lesson.

[GeraldMath4]

"Go over the bridge and into the tunnel" is another pretty good translation.

I was taught that the form 어서/아서 CANNOT be used in imperative sentences. Can someone explain why this sentence works?

[dipagssi]

서 shouldn't be used in imperative sentences ONLY when there is a cause-and-effect context involved (because of / therefore / so), not when 서 means 'and then'.

Thanks. Actually I have to agree with you. 아/어서 does have 2 uses:

(1) reason/effect: so (=for this reason; that's why) => Cannot be used to link 2 imperatives.

발가락이 아파서 저는 발꿈치로 걸어요. - My toes hurt so I walk on my heels.

(2) Temporal connector: and then. It is used to link 2 intrinsically related clauses i.e. one event/action cannot happen without the other taking place and being completed first. => Can be used to link 2 imperative clauses

다리를 건너서 터널에 들어가세요 . - He crosses the bridge and then goes in the tunnel => First, he crosses the bridge; then, he goes in the tunnel.

What is the indication of the "after" in the sentence?

[GeraldMath4]

The 서 "and then."

[OyesolaX]

I wrote "Go into the tunnel after crossing the bridge" must it follow the same other? It's just rearranged
