Use of preposition AFTER in English - Prepositions in English

Hi there. Welcome to Harry's World of Words and Phrases and English in a Minute

today we're going to talk about prepositions and in particular the

preposition after a ft e R and we can use it in many different ways after all

and this means in the end for example of course he would agree with her after all

it is his daughter after all then after me if you're standing in a

queue and somebody asks are you next is it your turn next yes and then you will

come after me you can also use after in the sense of later so you go to the

pharmacy and you're looking for your prescription to be completed and the

pharmacist will say but if you come back after 10 minutes or you come back after

5 o'clock I will give it to you then so after meaning later ok

oh I will call you after dinner after the meeting is over and we can also use

after when we're talking about someone who looks like or behaves like someone

like his parents or his brother oh you take after your father you take after

your mother meaning you behave or some of your behavior is similar to today's

and then when we look at one thing after another meaning one thing happened then

another thing happened so one thing happened after another series of events

and finally when we are standing in line for example a teacher with the young

children will tell the children to stand one after another so one then 1 and 1

then 1 all in a line okay so that's preposition after and remember as always
