Examples of Afterwards in a Sentence
Richie McGinniss drove down a small ramp and at that point I was alone in the back with Mr. Joseph Rosenbaum and I was just telling Joseph Rosenbaum that Richie McGinniss're going to have a beer together afterwards and it was all going to be OK.

Northern Irish actor Jamie Dornan:
People are going to look at it from both sides. Ultimately I think it sent a very strong message to show that the Czech people were up for a fight and weren't willing to be treated in that way, i think if I was in that position myself, I probably would have done the same thing. I have a strong understanding of why people see it the other way based on events afterwards. But for me, ultimately they had to do what they had to do.
I'd say that the events that unfolded on August 2nd 2006 and days afterwards where we lost much better warriors than I, much braver and selfless, that those were much more formative in shaping what I do and will do for the rest of my life. And the actions of that day, we lost 2 really good men. I don't even know where to start. One of my good friends one of our good friends Ryan Job was hit in the face, and I learned a lot that day. Well, I think we all did.
One should no more refuse to request an extension of Article 50 because of what one might regard as the noble end of departing from the EU as soon as possible, than one could excuse robbing a bank on the basis that the cash stolen would be donated to a charitable cause immediately afterwards.
