**Tips to Remember “Après”:**
1. Think of the word “appetizer.” Since appetizers come before a meal, remember that “après” is the opposite—it comes after.
2. Associate it with the famous phrase “après-ski,” which refers to social activities that happen after skiing.
3. Recall “A.P.R.E.S.” as an acronym for “After, Post, Following, End, Subsequent” to remind you of its meaning.

**Explanations:**
“Après” is a preposition in French that translates to ‘after’ in English. You use it to discuss sequences in time or events that follow one another.

**Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:**
– “Suite à”: following
– “Derrière”: behind
– “Plus tard”: later

**Alternate Meanings and Slang:**
In French slang, “après” doesn’t have a different meaning, but it can be used informally:
– “Et après?” : “So what?” or “What next?”

**Examples of Sentences:**
1. “Nous irons au cinéma après le diner.” (We will go to the cinema after dinner.)
2. “Après toi.” (After you.)
3. “Ils ont décidé de partir après 20h.” (They decided to leave after 8 pm.)
4. “Qu’est-ce qui vient après?” (What comes next?)
5. “Après l’effort, le réconfort.” (After the effort comes comfort; similar to the saying “After hardship comes relief.”)
