عنوان الموضوع : Prepositions and Conjunctions of Time - before / after / as / as soon as
مقدم من طرف منتديات الضمير العربي

LET'S START


Before


Before is used for something that occurs before a certain time.
For example

We should finish this exercise before 4.00

I need to buy a present before James comes

Before starting any business, it's a good idea to write a business plan

Note that when a preposition is followed by a verb, the verb ends in ing.
So for example

Where did you live before comingto America? Correct


Where did you live before to come to America? Incorrect


After



After is used for something that occurs after a certain time.
For example


I'll see you after work

Camilla won't be home until after midnight

David got promoted after just two years with the company


As - Time



As is used when two shorter actions happen together.
For example


I dropped my keys as I left my apartment

As is also used when two longer actions happen together.
For example


His health improved as he exercised more

As time went by his English got better

As is also used when an action happens during a background situation

I woke up as the sun was rising


She arrived as you were leaving



As - Reason

As is often used to show one thing is the cause of another, like the word "because".
For example

I'm going to bed early as I have to get up early tomorrow


As we're not busy, let's meet this afternoon for lunch


As soon as


As soon as is used when something happens immediately after something else.
For example

I'll give you a call as soon as I'm finished

As soon as they go out let's eat lunch

We'll send payment as soon as you fax the signed contract
