00 I think that # 2 and # 3 are correct. I don't think 'later' can be used to talk about something that will begin in the future. As far as using 'later' I would think it would be used in the past tense. Example: I came to work at 8am, but my boss arrived 10 minutes later. Is it that correct? 02 br

You can use ''later' in the context of the past, but also in other contexts.
eg Every day, I come to work at 8am, but my boss comes ten minutes later.
eg Tom will arrive tomorrow at 7pm and Mary will arrive two hours later.
