When expressing "Then...", you can use "那么" (nàme) in order to begin a judgment or result from previous context. An example of this in English would be "Then, what should we do?"
Here's the basic structure:
Context + 那么 + Result
Here are some examples of 那么 being used in this way.
- 既然 大家 都 不 同意 这 个 做法,那么 ,再 跟 经理 讨论 一下 吧。
- 十五路 公共 汽车 已经 没有 了,那么 ,我们 怎么 回家?
- 我 的 文章 的 初稿 真 不 太 好,那么 ,明天 我 怎么 交 论文 呢?
