1 “以后”可以单用,也可以作为后置成分,“后来”只能单用,例如只能说“七月以后”,不能说“七月后来”。 2 “以后”可以指过去,也可以指将来,“后来”只指过去,例如只能说“以后你要注意”,不能说“后来你要注意”。 I study hard all morning and AFTERWARDS often get hungry. 我一早上都在努力学习,之后常常感到很饿。 I hope it helps. :D

以后 是从现在起往后面算; 后来 是从过去的时间点往后算

以后 !) means "in the future" E.g. 我以后要想要做一个律师 (A child might tell you this when asked about his/ her ideal profession in future.) 2) means "from now on" E.g. 你以后要多看看新闻,否则你根本不了解时事 。 (One might give his/her friend such advice if his/ her friend knows nothing about the breaking news.) 后来 means "afterwards" or "then" I agree with adah1023. "后来" can be used in a past tense. We usually come cross "后来" in a narration. A pop Chinese song has such a lyric line "后来,我终于学会了如何去爱。" E.g. 我去年手机被偷了,后来我又去买了一个新的。(You use “后来” to tell your friend this past event that happened last year. "后来" here suggests the event "you bought a new cell phone" comes after "the cell phone was stolen")

“以后”前面必须有句子或介词,如:我到了以后;从此以后。 “后来”本身是介词,放在一句话最前面,单独使用。
