Having had

Hello

I would like to know what time this particular sentence takes place in?

"They are coming after they have had their dinner / after having had their dinner "

- does that mean they had already had their Dinner and they are on their way now ? Or does it mean that the action is going to take place in the future and hasnt happened yet ? Like they are going to eat and only than they're gonna come over.

Thanks

anonymous "They are coming after they have had their dinner / after having had their dinner " They are going to have their dinner (in the future), and after that's finished, they are going to come (to wherever) (farther in the future). anonymous gonna going to "gonna" is not used unless you are trying to imitate the way a character speaks, as when you are writing your great novel. Use "going to" no matter how you yourself pronounce it.

Thank you. Can I ask another one? When someone says "will you be the first one to have joined me" what does it mean?
