What is the difference between あと、うしろ and のちほど?


I'm confused, because all of them seem to have the same meaning (*in my
opinion). Can anyone help me?




後{あと}, 後{あと}で, and 後{のち} mean after a time. のち is more formal. 後程{のちほど} is
literally "after an extent (of time)."

> 晩{ばん}ご飯{はん}を食{た}べた後{あと}で行{い}く。  
>  I'll go after I eat dinner.

後{うし}ろ is physically behind.

> ゴミ箱{ばこ}は椅子{いす}の後{うし}ろにある。  
>  The trash can is behind the chair.
