- <p>Just as <a href="Before_a_specific_time_with_"yiqian"" title="wikilink">以前 (yǐqián) can be used</a> to describe the events before a specific time, <span class="hanzi">以后</span> (<span class="pinyin">yǐhòu</span>) can be used to describe the events after a specific time.</p>
- <h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>
- <p>This grammar structure is similar to the English "<b>after such-and-such, something happens.</b>" It's quite simple, all you have to do is put the "after" after the time words or time phrase.</p>
- <div class="deux">
- <p>Time / Verb + <span class="hanzist">以后, ....</span></p>
- </div>
- <p>The time can be a time or date, or an action or event. It may or may not be in the future.</p>
