@suud Repetition of the subject seems redundant and the connection between the clauses (1st half, 2nd half) is not that obvious.

The single 后 at back like in 吃我的糖果后 sounds awkward to say. And I feel 以后 is like saying "Someday...". Is there other alternative?

<p>How to say "After +Verb" in daily conversation?</p>

<p>For example:</p>

<p>"After eating my candy, I will go there".</p>

<p>"After he saw you were coming, he left".</p>

<p>"After she found the book, she called me".</p>

<p>etc.</p>

<p>So the focus here is the "After" word. I know 后 is usually used for this case. But I wonder whether there are other alternatives?</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-01-02)

How to say "After +Verb" in daily conversation?

For example:

"After eating my candy, I will go there".

"After he saw you were coming, he left".

"After she found the book, she called me".

etc.

So the focus here is the "After" word. I know 后 is usually used for this case. But I wonder whether there are other alternatives?

I can give the example of `very natural` translation：

"After eating my candy, I will go there".

我吃完糖就走。

"After he saw you were coming, he left".

他看到你来了之后就走了。

"After she found the book, she called me".

她找到这本书后叫了我。

But, there is difference between `After` and `后`. Chinese will add another word to explain the time accurately, for example , the `就` shows I will do it immediately after that.In some case , cause `就` explain the causation between two things, so the `后` can be omitted, just like the first translated sentence.

'After' can be expressed with 以后 placed after the clause:

吃完糖果以后，我去那里。

The second sentence can be translated using an 'after', e.g.:

他看到你来以后，他离开了。But it would sound 'more natural' if you dropped it:

他看到你来，就离开了。
