peer agreement (net): +1depends on what follows Explanation: "not before that" sounds wrong. You could use "not before" without "that", but the expression stands perfectly well as it is. You could also say "not until later", eg, "It was not until later that I discovered that...."; "Not until later did I find out..." |
