After/past a particular place
Hello,
Do both "after/past" sound natural enough in the following sentences:
- Turn right a mile after/past the market and you will see the church.
- A few hundred meters after/past the village the road ended and we had to stop the car.
- We get off at the station past/after Newport.
- You'll find the town about 80 miles south of Missoula, just past/after Darby.
I've heard people say both, and I think I've used both past/after too. Sometimes one sounds better than the other (to me), but I don't know why.
Thank you
