Notes

GENERAL INFO

Après means "after." It is primarily a preposition but can also function as an adverb.

As a preposition, it indicates sequence in time or space: "après le dîner" (after dinner), "après moi" (after me).

As an adverb, it refers to a subsequent point in time: "Il est rentré après" (He came back afterward).

Do not confuse après with "d'après," which means "according to" or "from" (e.g., "d'après lui" - according to him).
