time conjunction
의미
Events can be linked by saying which happens first or whether they happen at the same time. This makes the order clear even when the later event is mentioned first. Languages use linking words, verb forms, or context, and some have no separate linking word for a particular time relation. Unlike When and how long, Before, after and while relates one event to another rather than giving a time or duration on its own.
