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
This can be used to talk about actions in the future, or to talk about events that happened after other events in a story.
- 以后，我 会 中文。
- 以后，我 会 喝 啤酒。
- 以后，我 会 高兴。
