Rick,
In this sentence from Lesson 15,
>I'll clean the kitchen and the living room when you're cleaning the bathroom.
Goy nagompa mi meto ne cato gasande sa nagompa tumi nato.
since the tense the second "nagompa" is "sa", doesn't that mean that you are cleaning now? But since you aren't cleaning now, shouldn't the tense on the second "nagompa" also be "goy", even though the English is just fine?
