B: That sounds like fun. Let’s do it.
A: I’ll see you tomorrow then.
B: See you then. Goodbye.
What does “then” mean in these two sentences?
Thank you

They have two different meanings.
A: I’ll see you tomorrow then.
This is an if-then statement. Or maybe “in that case”.
If we take the train, then we will get there by 8:30.
If it is sunny, then we will go to the park.
“Let’s do it.”
If we agree to do “it”, then I’ll see you tomorrow.
or
Because we agreed to do “it”, then I will see you tomorrow.
B: See you then. Goodbye.
This refers to the time (tomorrow).
This use of “then” will always refer to a previously mentioned time.
A: Dinner will be ready by 6:00.
B: I should be home by then.
