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。
