need your explanation!

Hello teachers and experts,

I deadly need your expertise. Please enlighten me the following two sentences.

#1 After arriving at home, I did't feel like eating my dinner.

#2 After having arrived at home, I didn't feel like eating my dinner.

So could you please point out the difference between them.

Thanks a lot in advance.

No difference, but say After arriving home.

[Red5]

I'd also suggest saying "Having arrived at home..."

[Tdol]

I'd say 'Having arrived home'

[RonBee]

Like Tdol, I'd drop the at.

:)

[MikeNewYork]

Like Tdol, I'd drop the at.

:)

I'd accept both either way. :wink:

[Red5]

I'd say 'Having arrived home'

Agreed. I'm not sure how or why the at snuck in there, but I wish it hadn't.
