He felt hopeless after losing his job.

I am confused as to when I shoulduse either “nach” or “nachdem”

  • If you want to connect two sentences that both each contain a subject and a verb, you use “nachdem”.
  • If there’s only one sentence, you use “nach”.

In this sentence, you connect a sentence that contains “er” + “fühlen” with a sentence that contains “er” + “verlieren”, so you use “nachdem”.

This explains it in more detail.
