Like talking about the past, talking about things in the future is very straight forward. You can use the simple 以后(yǐhòu) which means "later".

Structure

To talk about things happening at some unspecified time in the future, you can use 以后 (yǐ hòu). The structure is:

以后, + Subject + Verb + Object
