Sentence "I go to my friend's house after studying." in Korean language. I made sentence:"I go to my friend's house after studying." "저는 공부고 나서 친구의 집에 가요" and "저는 공부고 서 친구의 집에 가요" ('-고 나서' is contracted to '-고서, right?) Is these sentences gramaticaly correct? Thanks in advance!

"저는 공부고 나서 친구의 집에 가요" (공부고 -> 공부하고. 공부하다, a verb, can't be shortened to 공부고) "저는 공부고 서 친구의 집에 가요" (공부고 서 -> 공부하고서) I am not sure whether we should think of -고서 as a contraction of -고 나서 or as a separate expression. They have almost the same meaning but -고 나서 emphasizes finishing the first action completely before the other. Here are different ways of saying doing something first and then doing another. - 공부하고 나서 그 다음[뒤, 후]에 가요 (finish one thing first, and after that, ... - the most detailed) - 공부한 다음[뒤, 후]에 가요 (do one thing, and after that, ...) - 공부하고 나서 가요 (after doing one thing, ...) - 공부하고서 가요 (do one thing and then ...) - 공부하고 가요 (do one thing and ... - the simplest phrase, but it obscures 공부하고 coming before 가요)
