@YuuichiTam So, if I understood correctly, I can translate 日本に行くとき to before going to Japan? Also, should 日本に行ったとき be thought as supposing I go/went to Japan?

| May 6, 2018 at 14:11 | comment | added | Yuuichi Tam | @ l'électeur I think so because past tense is not used in future things. Right? I think this た is the same as た in 明日は、朝ご飯を食べた後、学校に行く. | |
| May 6, 2018 at 14:01 | comment | added | Yuuichi Tam | @leqo 日本に行くとき means "the way(道のり) you arrive to Japan", so 日本に行くとき、きょうとでさくらをみたいです and 日本に行くとき、きょうとでさくらを見ました are unnatural. | |

And also, is it ok to modify No.4 so that it looks more similar to No.2? Like: 日本に行くとき、きょうとでさくらを見ました

Would it be wrong if I modified No.3 and wrote 日本に行くとき、きょうとでさくらをみたいです ?
