"Entonces" and "Despues"

Question

How are "entonces" and "despues" different?

Answer 1

Although they can both mean "then" (in a sequence), "entonces" is very commonly used as "then" and "depués" as "after that,""afterward" or "later."

Answer 2

The principal use for despues is to mean later or after, in terms of time. It can also mean then, as in entonces, or next, but I don't know how frequent that use is.

Entonces translates to then, and can mean "then, at a specific time or occasion", or "If you like it so much, then buy it."

So they can overlap, but have different primary meanings.
