Market-museum or museum-market?
Hello everybody!
If you read a sentence like that:
'Let's go to the market for lunch after we visit the museum'
What do you expect to come first? Going to the market or visiting the museum? I hope to receive a reply from a mother tongue Eng speaker. Thanks
Michele

Thank you.
I thought to mean that (museum first) one has to say '... after we have visited the museum'.
Would you accept the use of the Present perfect?

Both the present simple and the present perfect are possible in that sentence.
