1.The pattern '- '
2.The connective '-'

1. The pattern '- ' ; before doing

The word is a noun meaning time before or place in front and - is a marker meaning
at, in, on. So the pattern - is used to express of before something happens. This
pattern is always used with verbs, and the subjects of the two clauses can be either the same or
different.

Before you go home, please drop by my office.
Please eat before you start working.
Younghee, you should go home before Andy comes.

2. The connective '-' ; and

This connective - is used to link two clauses in coordination. When the subjects of the two
clauses are the same, the two clauses mean sequential process. So, in this case, the connective
- means doing A first, and then doing B later. But when the subjects of the two clauses are
different, these two clauses express comparison, and are used with the topic marker -/.
