1. 전(Before/earlier  vs   AGO)

    "15분 전에 왔어요. "
     I got here 15 minutes before/earlier(x) ->  I got here 15 minutes ago(O)


   
    Before/Earlier 는 비교급으로만 사용 가능. 
    따라서 비교 대상을 명시하지 않을 경우에는 ago를 사용!
   
    e.g) How long has the teacher been here?(선생님 여기 온지 얼마나 됐어요?)
           She got here about 15 minutes ago.(15분 쯤 전에 오셨어요. )
             * She got here 15 minutes before.(X)

    e.g)  He got here 15 minutes before me.(O) 그가 나보다 15분 일찍 왔어요. 
           I got here 15 minutes earlier than we had planned. 예정보다 15분 일찍 왔어요. 
           I got here 15 minutes earlier than the schedule. 
   

2. 후(after/later  vs IN)

   
   "15분 있다 가려고요."
   I'll leave after 15 minutes(x)
   I'll leave 15 minutes later(x)   ->I'll leave in 15 minutes. (O)

   역시 after/later는 비교급으로만 사용가능. 
   비교 대상을 말하지 않을 때는 in을 사용!

  
  c.f) 그냥 한 마디로 '나중에'라고 대답할 때는 later도 가능. 
        -When are you going to leave? 
        -Later.(O) ; 지금보다 더 늦게의 의미로 축약형으로 사용.

  c.f) '15분 이내에': within !!
