"After he talked about it, I also got the flu!"

Translation: Après qu'il en a parlé, j'ai aussi eu la grippe !

[fH6lclhu]

What is wrong with... Après qu'il en a parlé, j'ai aussi pris la grippe

[LouiseEnglish]

Why wasn't 'Après il l'a discuté...' accepted?

[LSadun]

Does this mean that in French you don't GET diseases, but only HAVE them?

[stupefaite]

or contracter la grippe, un rhume, un virus etc

[danielj_nomade]

Après en avoir parlé, j'ai aussi attrapé la grippe!

also needs to be accepted.

[uinni]

It shouldn't. It means "after having spoken about it, ..."

[Tobi45471]

Open for discussion: According to native french speaker it should be: après qu'il en ait parlé
(after après que it's subjonctif )

[Jeanne448353]

With "aprés que" the action has already occurred; therefore, "aprés que" is NOT FOLLOWED BY THE SUBJUNCTIVE. (The same goes for the following which use "que" and also are not followed by subjunctive verbs: maintenant que, depuis que, une fois que)

[lulularosa]

But isn't the subjonctif reserved for hypotheticals or uncertainties, etc.? "After he talked about it" / *Après qu'il en a parlé" are definite statements, so what purpose would the subjunctive serve?
