after的用法

　　after有以后;后來等意思，那么你知道after的用法嗎?下面跟著學(xué)習(xí)啦小編一起來學(xué)習(xí)一下，希望對大家的學(xué)習(xí)有所幫助!

　　after的用法：

　　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.

　　表達“某事件的若干時間以后”時，應(yīng)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(dāng)天的日期或當(dāng)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(dāng)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(dǎo)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.

　　after常指時間先后的次序，而behind常指位置，如August comes after July，用after,，而A garden lies behind the house，用behind。不過有時after和behind可以通用。

　　Please shut the door after/behind you.

　　He came in after/behind her.

　　be after指“追求，要求”，

　　He is after you.

　　他正在追求你。

　　He is always after me to teach him the violin.

　　他老是要我教他小提琴。

　　after all有時指“雖然這樣”，

　　In coming home we got caught in the rain and became wet through and through, after all I don't mind as we had a fine time.

　　不可說be after doing …，這里不是指想要做什么，或是將要做什么，而是已經(jīng)做了什么。但是可以用after doing…的結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　After completing this form, give it to the secretary.

　　after作為副詞時，通常不單用，而是以其他形式出現(xiàn)，如afterwards，then或afterthat。

　　I'm going to do my exams, and afterwards I'm going to study medicine.
