Comparing "yihou" and "zhihou"

Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

Both "以后" (yǐhòu) or "之后" (zhīhòu) mean "after," but there are a few tiny differences in usage. Both can indicate another event happened after a specific time . Subj. + Specified Time + 以后／之后 + Verb In situations something happens after something else , you can use 以后. The stipulation with this is that "after WHAT " needs to be explicitly stated. That is, there has to be a "specified time" for 以后 to modify. Otherwise 以后 won't work in those sentences.
