Questions & Answers about بعد ساعة لدينا اجتماع في الشركة.

What is the basic word order in بعد ساعة لدينا اجتماع في الشركة?

Arabic often uses a time expression first to set the scene.

• بعد ساعة = time frame (After an hour / In an hour)
• لدينا = we have
• اجتماع = the thing we have (a meeting)
• في الشركة = location (in/at the company)
  So the sentence is basically: [Time] + [We have] + [Thing] + [Place].

Does بعد ساعة mean after an hour or in an hour?

It can be understood either way depending on context, and both are common in English too. In practical speech, بعد ساعة is often used to mean in an hour (i.e., one hour from now). If you want to be very explicit about one hour from now, you can also say بعد ساعة من الآن.

Why is it ساعة (singular) and not a plural?

In Arabic, after numbers you often see special singular/plural patterns, but here ساعة is not being used with an explicit number word like واحدة. The phrase بعد ساعة is a fixed, natural way to mean after/in one hour. You can say بعد ساعة واحدة to make one explicit.
