después

This is the 513th most frequent Spanish word.


después

"Después" means "after" or "later" in English.


In this sentence, 'después' is used as a preposition indicating the timing of an action that happens after another specific event, which is 'almuerzo' (lunch).

Después del almuerzo voy a caminar.

After lunch, I am going to walk.


Here, 'después' functions as an adverb expressing a subsequent time without a specified context, equivalent to 'later' in English.

Nos veremos después.

We will see each other later.


In this construction, 'después de que' introduces a subordinate clause that indicates the timing relationship between two actions.

Lo haré después de que termines.

I will do it after you finish.
