কৰাৰ পিছত / কৰাৰ আগতে
After and Before an Action
নিৰ্মাণ হোৱাৰ পিছত means “after it is built”, and আহি পোৱাৰ আগতে means “before I arrived”.
How It Works
The -া form of a verb works like a noun, “the doing”. With -ৰ it can sit before a time word.
| Phrase | Means |
|---|---|
| হোৱাৰ পিছত | after it happens |
| হোৱাৰ আগতে | before it happens |
| সাঁতোৰাৰ পিছত | after swimming |
| খোৱাৰ আগতে | before eating |
| যোৱাৰ আগতে | before going |
The subject of the action comes before the verb: বৰষুণ আৰম্ভ হোৱাৰ আগতে “before the rain starts”. আগতেই with a final -ই stresses the time: “even before”. পাছত is a common spelling of পিছত.
A noun can stand where the -া form stands: স্কুলৰ পাছত “after school”.
