Question 6

After/when

Answer 6

Après/ Après que

Différence between après and après que is

Je vais dormir après que je mange toute cette tarte. (I’m going to sleep after I eat all this pie.)

Après is a preposition, and après que is a compound conjunction. All that means is you use the latter when it’s followed by a verb (like in the example).

Before

Avant/avant que

Similar to après que, this conjunction is not to be confused with its definition without que. The same distinction can be made—avant being the preposition in this case and avant que the compound conjunction.
