Hi Prajwal,

Many thanks for correcting these grammars problems. I was wondering if you can explain when I should use "after" or "when". I am not sure which conjunction is suitable to use. Thank you very much.

Many thanks,
Bei

This is what I will see them as:
after sitting for too long= you aren't sitting anymore.
when sitting for too long=you are feeling the pain while you are still sitting.
