Basic Examples
私は食べてから => After I eat..
おかあさんはしごとをしてから => After mom works...
This is a fairly simple form that focuses on the linear progression between 2 actions/events. It does not suggest any kind of cause/effect relationship, just that one event comes after another.
Past and non-past usage
It's important to remember that regardless of when the events take place (past or non-past), the first verb is always in the て form.
昨日、食べてから勉強しました。(correct)
Yesterday, I studied after I ate.
今日、食べてから勉強します。(correct)
Today, I'll study after I eat.
