Questions & Answers about После урока мы приклеили заголовок к доске, чтобы всем было видно тему.

Why is it после урока, with урока ending in -а?

Because после always takes the genitive case. The noun урок becomes урока in the singular genitive.

So:

урок = lesson
после урока = after the lesson

This is just a case rule of the preposition после.

What form is приклеили?

Приклеили is:

past tense
plural
perfective

It comes from приклеить = to glue/attach by gluing.

The ending -ли shows past plural. Because the subject is мы, the verb has to be plural.

Why use приклеили instead of клеили?

This is an aspect question.

приклеили = perfective, a completed action with a result
клеили = imperfective, the process of gluing, or repeated/ongoing action

Here the sentence is about a finished action: after the lesson, they glued the title to the board, and now it is there. So perfective приклеили fits better.
