Guantes

This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for July 13, 2009

guantes (masculine noun (los)) — gloves. Look up guantes in the dictionary

Si usas guantes para cambiar la llanta del auto, no tendrás que lavarte las manos después.
If you use gloves to change the car tire, you won't have to wash your hands afterward.

Los guantes son buenísimos para les proteger a los manos mientras se está mezclando las sustancias químicas peligrosas.

We use the word Gauntlet in English for a long armoured or leather glove. I think from Norman French gantelet. The Germans are very logical and call gloves Handschuhe.

Where can I use the word afterward.

I know that the word afterward means despues.

But I want to know if can replace that word with later.

We can go jeeping later
Afterward, we can go jeeping (afterward" es al principio de la oración)

Ambas frases son correctas

Later = tarde

Quizá esto puede ayudarte

Later is more broad then afterward(s)

Later (sometime) [broad] we are going to the movies
I work until 5PM, afterwards (refers to a more precise point in time) we are going to the movies

Espero que te ayude
