Just as 以前(yǐqián) can be used to talk events before a specific time, 以后(yǐhòu) can be used to describe actions that happened after a specific time.
Structure
This grammar structure is similar to the English "after such-and-such, something happens". It's quite simple, all you have to do is put the "after" after the time words or time phrase.
Time + 以后， Subject + Verb + Object
The time can be a specific time or date, or an action or event.
Examples
- 十 月 八 号 以后，我 在 北京。After October 8th， I will be in Beijing.
- 十 点 以后，我 不 在 家。After 10 o'clock, I will not be at home.
- 见到 那 个 女孩 以后，我们 一起 去 咖啡店 了。After we saw that girl, we went to the cafe.
- 喝 酒 以后，我 很 高兴。After drinking, we are happy.
- 下班以后，我们一起去喝酒吧？
- 工作以后，她认识了她的老公。
- 这件事，我三天以后告诉你。
- 你不久以后会收到我的邮件。
- 我一个月以后开始上班。
- 我认识他以后知道了很多事。
