Examples of Afterwards in a Sentence

1. David Axelrod:

   He has been around politics for long enough to know that people are always kinder before you set foot on the battlefield than afterwards, people who said they are right behind you are suddenly a good distance back.

2. Aziz Ansari:

   In September of last year, I met a woman at a party. We exchanged numbers. We texted back and forth and eventually went on a date. We went out to dinner, and afterwards we ended up engaging in sexual activity, which by all indications was completely consensual, the next day, I got a text from her saying that although 'it may have seemed okay,' upon further reflection, she felt uncomfortable. It was true that everything did seem okay to me, so when I heard that it was not the case for her, I was surprised and concerned. I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said.I continue to support the movement that is happening in our culture. It is necessary and long overdue.

3. Todd Landen:

   It wasn't my choice to leave -- I didn't leave on my terms, but when he gets elected, I hope he will drop the hammer on the enemy, get us out of there, and take care of us afterwards.

4. Roxanne Sukol:

   But if they sold roasted Brussels sprouts and grilled salmon at the movie theater, you wouldn't go out for dinner afterwards, because you would be satisfied. Your brain knows the difference, if there's a conflict between what we think we know and what our brain is telling us. We don't trust our brain. We trust what we think we learned. So I'm not surprised at all that everyone is confused.

5. Le Clos:

   It must be terrible to watch me at 3 in the morning, then what do you do afterwards?
