用法辨析
- after可用作連詞連接一個時間狀語從句,從句中一般用現(xiàn)在時表示將來。
- after用作副詞時常與soon, ever搭配,通常用于表示時間的名詞后。
- after用作副詞時不用于比較等級。
- 注意after和in的使用:從某時說到多少時間以后,不用after,而用in。如果指“某個時刻,日期或事件以后”,用after。He will/would arrive in four weeks.He will(或would)arrive after four o'clock /5 July/the ceremony.
- 表達“某事件的若干時間以后”時,應是“若干時間after事件”,而不是“after若干時間of事件”??烧ftwo hours after his arrival,不可說after two hours of his arrival。在“two hours after his arrival”前加不同的介詞,有不同的意思:“two hours after his arrival”單用時指“他到達兩小時以后”。若前面加the,如the two hours after his arrival指“他到達以后的兩小時”,加for指“在他到達以后的兩小時全段時間里”,加in 跟沒有in意思相同,加within指“在他到達以后的兩小時中的某時刻”;
- 指“若干時間after日期或月份”時,常把當天的日期或當月除外。如five days after 3 July,指從7月4日算起的5天以后,也就是7月9日。但有例外,five days after I July可能指7月8日,months after July可能指11月,注意避免這種結(jié)構(gòu)產(chǎn)生誤解;
- 指“從過去的某時或某事說到現(xiàn)在”時,不用after,用since,所以可說Since his graduation he has been abroad.(since不可改成after)一定要改的話,可表示為After his graduation he went abroad. 這里的after是介詞,用作連接詞時用法一樣。He went abroad after he graduated. 不可說 He has been abroad after he graduated.
- half after four,five minutes after eight等是美國英語,相當于英國英語half past four,five minutes past eight等,英國方言中也有half after four等表達方式;
- after引導的狀語從句,用現(xiàn)在時態(tài),不用將來時態(tài)。I shall start after he comes.

adv. (副詞)
