The boy is chasing after the butterflies or The boy is chasing the butterflies. Both are correct?
  

Top answer

The boy is chasing the butterflies. I wouldn't say the first sentence is absolutely incorrect, but the after is unnecessary. Leaving out "extra" prepositions can make your writing much more powerful.
