from what went before

Hi teachers,

But in many respects the constituents of modern living are very different in nature from what went before.

Can you explain this sentence to me?

Thanks

Hi Mister Micawber,

Thanks for your help. But "what went" is a bit difficult. Can you make another sentence using "what went" with the same meaning?

Thanks

'Went' = 'happened; existed', that is all.
