There are a few different ways to say “after -ing” in Korean. Through this lesson, we will introduce the three most common ways to say it.
These three expressions all share a common structure:
-(으)ㄴ + 다음에
-(으)ㄴ + 후에
-(으)ㄴ + 뒤에
These three all mean “after -ing”. Let’s look at the key nouns
다음 [da-eum] = next time, next
(i.e. 다음 주 = next week)
후 [hu] = after
(i.e. 오후 = afternoon)
뒤 [dwi] = behind, back
(i.e. 등 뒤 = behind the back)
The “-(으)ㄴ” part indicates that the action has been done, so it is already in the past tense form. After before this, you put the verb steam.
Verb stem + -(으)ㄴ + 다음(or 후/뒤)에 = after -ing
