~ Grammar Focus:
This pattern means ‘after a certain period of time’ or ‘after some action’, and corresponds to ‘after’, ‘later’ in English. It is used in the forms ‘Time후에’, ‘Noun 후에’, and ‘Verb –(으)ㄴ 후에’ in a sentence.
When attaching to verbs, –ㄴ 후에 is used when the stem ends in a vowel, –은 후에 is added when the stem ends in a consonant, and when the stem ends in ㄹ, ㄹ is deleted, and –ㄴ 후에 is added to the remaining part of the stem. –(으)ㄴ 다음에 can also be used in place of –(으)ㄴ 후에.
