Question about using Then

0 I have a quick question about using the word Then. "I do X, then do Y." If something prevented me from doing X, could I not then do Y? The one argument that I get is, "Even though you can't do X, you can still do Y. Only when it says 'If you do X, then do Y' can you not do it." The other argument is, "In order to 01i00then02i00 do Y, you must have done X. Otherwise, there is no 01i00then 02i00Y." Though it isn't important, it has been bothering me for a while.0-
