Comparing "yihou" "ranhou" "houlai"

Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

While both 以后 (yǐhòu) and 后来 (hòulái) can mean "later," they have distinct uses. 然后 (ránhòu) means "and then." Don't let yet another 后 word confuse you! 然后 is a conjunction, which is always used in the middle of a sequence of events. It is often used with 先 (xiān, meaning "first"). Neither 以后 nor 后来 can be used this way. Simply swapping 以后 for 然后 in each of these sentences would make them correct. 以后 is a time noun, which can be used to talk about things that happen at some unspecified point in the future while 然后 and 后来 can't be used this way.
