| May 5 at 1:56 | comment | added | Mango Gummy | @StuartF thanks. How about “the sun doesn’t rise until after dawn”? Does it mean the sun rises after the end of dawn? | |

| May 1 at 11:52 | comment | added | Stuart F | "They didn’t reach until after night" isn't very idiomatic to me. I'd prefer "They didn’t reach wherever until after nightfall/dusk/sunset/dark", if you mean they arrive while it was night. Although it's true that "after dark" means at night, so there's a valid similar question about that. "The sun doesn’t rise until after night" sounds weird too - I get what you mean but it's not how I'd express it (e.g. "The sun doesn't rise until night is over.") | |
