Prepositions often confused

 After for In.


✖️Don't say: I may be able to go after a week.


✔️Say: I may be able to go in a week.

Or: I may be able to go in a week's time.


When speaking of a period of time in the future, use "in", and not "after". Here "in" means "after the end of". 


 In for Within.


✖️Don't say: I'll come back in an hour - if you mean before the end of an hour.


✔️Say: I'll come back within an hour.


"In" means after the end of, "within" means before the end
