고 Past Sequential Tense Clause 요리하고 청소할 거예요

Front 요리하고 청소할 거예요
Back I'm going to cook and (then) clean up
Notes As a sequential connective meaning 'and (then)', -고 links two clauses describing actions that take place sequentially. In such usage, -고 normally occurs by itself without the past tense marker.

One possible situation for -고 to appear affixed by the past tense marker is when talking about two sequential past events separated from each other by a significant amount of time. In such cases, the first clause often leads to the possibility of the second clause to take place.
