after錯誤的用法:

先看after錯誤的用法:

• I will have the result after a few days. (X)

因為after 後面要加一個時間點, a few days 是一段時間, 並不是某一個時間點

正確的用法是:

• I will have the result after this Friday. (O)
• I will have the result after the day on Jun 1st. (O)

若要接一段時間, 可以用下列介係詞:

• I will have the result in a few days. (幾天後 會有結果)
• I will have the result within a few days. (幾天之內 會有結果)
