「Learn Japanese」 How-to say “After CLAUSE1, CLAUSE2” (た-Form C1 + 後で + C2)

「Learn Japanese」 た-Form CLAUSE1 + 後で + CLAUSE2 as “After C1, C2”

This grammar construct is used to convey that the contents of CLAUSE2 occur after the contents of CLAUSE1; in this pattern, CLAUSE1 is conjugated into the た-Form regardless of what form CLAUSE2 is respectively conjugated into. The particle で can be and is commonly omitted.

Example(s):

本を読んだ後で寝ました。
Hon o yonda ato de nemashita.
(After I read the book, I went to sleep.)

食べた後で歯を磨いた。
Tabeta ato de ha o migaita.
(After eating, I brushed my teeth.)

This grammar construct can also be used with NOUN + の後で in lieu of a CLAUSE with a predicate in た-Form, in which NOUN denotes an activity or an event.

晩ごはんの後で眠くなりました。
Bangohan no ato de nemuku narimashita.
(After dinner, I became sleepy.)

授業の後で学習塾に行きました。
Jyugyou no ato de gakushuu juku ni ikimashita.
(After class, I went to evening cram school.)
