问题描述
soon after 的用法。
比如说能不能加句子、词语？能不能单独使用？它属于什么词类？
顺便问一下，after 做 adv 时在句中的位置如何放？谢谢！
老师答疑
倪老师：
一、soon after中的 after 可以是连词、介词或副词。所以，soon after 后可接句子、名词（代词、动名词），也可以单独使用。
1.soon after接句子：
He went into hiding soon after the government denounced him.
2.soon after接名词、代词、动名词：
She began to feel dizzy soon after the accident.
Night fell, and soon after that he left.
He took a flier in politics soon after getting his degree.
3.soon after单独作状语：
The family moved to Hardingham in June 1983, and Sarah's first child was born soon after.（句末）
He joined the army in 1914, and soon after was promoted to the rank of captain.（句首）
要注意的是，soon after单独作状语时，相当于soon afterward(主美)或soon fterwards(主英)，且后者更常用。
二、after作为副词，通常要与一些其它的时间副词或名词连用。例如：
He ate lunch and left just / right / immediately / shortly / soon after.
Not long after / afterward, the phone rang.
He returned 20 years after.
但是，即便 20 years after 并没有错，将 after 改为 later 或 afterwards 更为自然、更符合英语习惯。
至于前面没有出现其它表示时间的词语，after 最好不用。例如：
She's having lunch with me, and afterwards (not after) we are going for a walk. (CEED)
注：以上例句均源于现代英文辞书原著，在此不一一列出。
黎老师：
1. soon after 是一个短语，它后面可以接句子，也可以单独使用。例如：
Paula became pregnant soon after they were married. 他们结婚后不久葆拉就怀孕了。
Soon after, the hostilities recommenced. 很快又出现了敌意。

2. after 做 adv 时一般放在句末。例如：
Pride goes before, and shame follows after. 骄兵必败。
