Let’s go step by step.
We are given pairs of sentences. For each pair, we need to combine them using “before” or “after” — just like in the example with Ben.
The rule is:
- If Action A happens first, then Action B → say “A before B” OR “B after A”.
Let’s do each one:
---
1. The students eat breakfast. They go to school.
→ Eating breakfast happens FIRST. Going to school happens AFTER.
So:
→ The students eat breakfast
before they go to school.
→ The students go to school
after they eat breakfast.
---
2. I have a shower. I go out with my friends.
→ Having a shower happens FIRST. Going out happens AFTER.
So:
→ I have a shower
before I go out with my friends.
→ I go out with my friends
after I have a shower.
---
3. We receive a gift. We say “Thank you”.
→ Receiving the gift happens FIRST. Saying thank you happens AFTER (it’s polite to say thanks after getting something).
So:
→ We receive a gift
before we say “Thank you”.
→ We say “Thank you”
after we receive a gift.
---
4. The girl does her homework. She watches TV.
→ Doing homework happens FIRST. Watching TV happens AFTER (probably as a reward or relaxation).
So:
→ The girl does her homework
before she watches TV.
→ The girl watches TV
after she does her homework.
---
Final Answer:
→ The students eat breakfast before they go to school.
→ The students go to school after they eat breakfast.
→ I have a shower before I go out with my friends.
→ I go out with my friends after I have a shower.
→ We receive a gift before we say “Thank you”.
→ We say “Thank you” after we receive a gift.
→ The girl does her homework before she watches TV.
→ The girl watches TV after she does her homework.
