Discover LudwigThe phrase "said after" is a prepositional phrase that is not commonly used in written English.
It is more commonly used in spoken English to clarify who said something or to give a reason for something that was said. Example: "After the meeting, John said that he would take care of the report." Here, "said after" is used to indicate that the statement was made after the meeting took place. In written English, it is more appropriate to use other phrases such as "stated afterwards," "mentioned later," or "commented subsequently" to convey a similar meaning. These phrases are more formal and better suited for written communication.
