Entonces

I've never been sure of this word. I know it means "then" but it seems to be used for a lot more purposes.

Here is what my dictionary says:

entonces adverbio
A
1 (en aquel momento) then; no los veo desde entonces I haven't seen them since (then); para entonces ya nadie se acordaba de él by then o by that time nobody remembered him; el entonces presidente the then president, the president at that time
2 (en aquellos tiempos) then, in those days; por or en aquel entonces in those days
3 (a continuación) then; se acercó y entonces me reconoció he came closer and then he recognized me

B
1 (introduciendo conclusiones) then; si no es así, entonces él me mintió if that's not right, then he lied to me; ¿entonces vienes o te quedas? are you coming with us or staying here then?, so are you coming with us or staying here?; ¿él se enteró? — no — ¿entonces? did he find out? — no — so o well then, what's the problem?
2 (uso expletivo) well, anyway; entonces, como te iba diciendo … well o anyway, as I was saying …

The word then is commonly known as Entonces.

In the Spanish language.

Then when you come to my house.
Then when you get marry with me?


Sincerely yours.
