另外,表示“別忘了……,”“總之.”“畢竟”,這時的after all一般故在句首,用來提醒對方(聽話的人)似乎忘記了一個重要事實,忽略了某個重要的理由或論點。如:
①Why is he not allowed to stay here?After all,It's his home.
、贏fter all,she is a child.畢竟,她是個孩子。
after作介詞的用法:
1、after+名詞,作為介賓短語,
如:after 5 o'clock。五點以后。
He ran after the bus.他在那輛公交車后追著跑。
2、after+動名詞,也是作為介賓短語,
如:after having finished my homework。完成我的作業(yè)后。
I will go to bed after drinking the milk.
3、after+代詞,作為賓語的主語,
如:He went home after he finished all the work
