Definition: Later; second (of two); next, following, subsequent
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look and see,
At the word “after,” it’s quite simple, you agree!
The dictionary gives us clues, a helpful little guide,
Let’s break it down with rhymes, side by side.
“Later” means it comes
behind
, when time has flown,
A moment that follows, a seed that's been sown.
“Second of two,” think of a pair, you see,
It’s the one that arrives
after
what came to be!
"Next," and “following” – a sequence so clear,
Coming right behind, banishing all fear.
And “subsequent,” fancy word, don't you fret,
Means it comes
after
, just like we haven’t met…
…the end of the order, the final decree!
So "after" simply means
time
that follows through,
A place in sequence, for me and for you!
Do you have any questions? Let's discuss with glee,
Understanding words is key – happy to see!
