Questions & Answers about kaigi no ato, kanojo ga gijiroku o matomete kuremashita.

Why is it 会議のあと and not just 会議あと?

The の links the noun 会議 with あと.

• 会議 = meeting
• あと = after

So 会議のあと literally means the after of the meeting, which is how Japanese forms after the meeting.

This is a very common pattern:

• 授業のあと = after class
• 仕事のあと = after work
• 食事のあと = after the meal

Without の, it would sound ungrammatical.

Why is there no particle after あと?

In 会議のあと、彼女が..., the phrase 会議のあと is being used as a time expression, so it can appear without another particle.

This is similar to how time expressions often work in Japanese:

• 昨日、行きました。 = I went yesterday.
• 会議のあと、彼女が議事録をまとめてくれました。 = After the meeting, she compiled the minutes for me/us.

You could also sometimes see forms like 会議のあとで, which is also natural.
The difference is small here:

• 会議のあと = after the meeting
• 会議のあとで = after the meeting, then...

Both are common, but 会議のあと is very straightforward and natural.

Why is it 彼女が instead of 彼女は?
