後(あと)でAfter, Later

あとで dan まえに sama-sama dipakai untuk menjelaskan urutan waktu suatu tindakan, tetapi dengan makna yang berlawanan. まえに biasanya mengikuti kata kerja bentuk biasa (non-lampau) dan berarti 'sebelum melakukan A' (contoh: 食べる前に = 'sebelum makan'). Sebaliknya, あとで biasanya mengikuti kata kerja bentuk lampau dan berarti 'setelah melakukan B' (contoh: 食べたあとで = 'setelah makan').

Both 上で and あとで express that one action follows another, but with different nuances. あとで simply shows sequence, like 'after doing (A)'. 上で implies the first action is a necessary step for the second, similar to 'upon doing (A)', and is more formal, often used in writing or business contexts.

Both あとで and たら can show that one action follows another, but their usage and nuance differ. あとで simply shows sequence, like 'after doing (A)'. たら adds a conditional nuance and can mean 'when' (temporal) or 'if' (hypothetical). Because of this, they are rarely interchangeable.

前者は and 後者は, like あとで, relate to sequence, but in different ways. あとで (also written in kanji as 後で) refers to the order of actions, like 'after doing (A)'. 前者 and 後者 mean 'the former' and 'the latter', pointing back to the previously mentioned items.

てから and あとで both convey a sequence of events, but their nuances differ. てから uses the Verb + て form to show that one event follows another. In contrast, あとで follows the past tense (た form) and simply indicates that the second event occurred after the first, without implying any connection between the two.
