After
Hi,
Can someone help me.
'He takes a bath after he goes for a run at 8pm'
'He takes a bath after running at 8pm'
Why do we use the verb+ing after 'after' but in the first one we don't. I know they are different but I just don't know how to explain it simply.
Any help really appreciated,
Cheers!
