Après avoir...

Mike P.C1Kwiziq community member

In colloquial French, is the après ever dropped, similar to English.
After having eaten, I did st. = Having eaten, I did st.
Après avoir mangé, j'ai fait qqc., can it be Avoir mangé, j'ai fait qqc. colloquially?

This question relates to:French lesson "Après avoir fait = After doing in French (auxiliary avoir)"

Bonjour Mike,

Unfortunately, "après" must be part of this structure in French. Otherwise, it does not make much sense in French.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
