What does 写完 mean exactly in 写完报告以后?
写完 is 写 + 完:
- 写 = to write
- 完 = to finish, complete
So 写完报告 means finish writing the report.
Here 完 is a result complement, showing that the action reaches completion.
Why is there no 了 after 写完?
Chinese often does not need 了 when the completion is already clear from a result complement like 完, especially in a time phrase such as 写完报告以后.
So this sentence sounds natural as written.
You could also say 写完了报告以后, but it is a little heavier and not necessary here.
What is the role of 以后 here?
以后 means after or afterwards.
In 写完报告以后, it connects the first action to the next part of the sentence:
- 写完报告以后 = after finishing the report
It creates a time clause. A very natural English equivalent is After you finish writing the report...
Can 以后 be replaced by 后 or 之后?
