Yesterday's Word - Previous Words - Help

después, adverb
after

Después de is the basic phrase you need to convey the idea of something happening after something else:

Nos vemos después del desayuno.
I’ll see you after breakfast.

You use the infinitive after después de if the subject of the verb in both clauses is the same:

Después de comer fuimos a dar un paseo.
After lunch we went for a walk.

If the two subjects are different, and the event is in the past, in normal style you use después de que and the indicative:

Me quedé leyendo después de que fuiste a la cama.
I stayed up reading after you went to bed.

But if the event is in the future, you use the subjunctive:

Voy a leer un poco después de que te vayas* a la cama.
I’m going to read for a bit after you go to bed.
