When to use Time-Interval Complements
Read verb + time since completion as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 以后 adds to it.
下课以后我回家。
After class I go home.
吃饭以后他去散步。
After eating he goes for a walk.
毕业以后我想工作。
After graduating I want to work.
Common traps
- Do not translate verb + time since completion mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
- Keep 以后 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
- Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
