I’d like a single word to ask someone whether something happened ‘before or after’ whatever it is we’re talking about.
Occurring comes to mind but then you always say, did this occur before or after that?
When is too descriptive and asks for a specific time.

Order or chronology are around the mark.
The events occurred in what order ?
What was the chronology of the events?
But the answer might not be «A was before/after…», but rather «first A, then…»

Relate might be appropriate here.
And, how does this change in attitude relate to your having read Eat, Pray, Love?
While it doesn’t exclusively apply to the temporal relationship, it should elicit the answer you require without having to add in «before or after».
Similarly, correspond.
You can cure the ambiguity by adding the word temporally.
How does this change relate temporally to your having read . . .
But, I think it sounds clunky, and is likely unnecessary unless you need to make it absolutely clear.

I think you were looking for something like «approximately when» so they can give you an approximate chronology.
From the Oxford dictionary
approximate: — (as an adjective) Close to the actual, but not completely accurate or exact.
-(verb with object) Estimate or calculate a quantity fairly accurately
The other option I have would be to refer to this as Janus. «Was this janus (before and/or after) to reading of X».
Janus was a Roman god of many contradicting things and transitions. Typically things are said to be janus if they are antonyms or are ambivalent. However Janus also represented the perception of past and future as well as the transition from one to the other so it would also fit in this context, although virtually no one would know what you are talking about.

further can give this meaning depending on how you use it in a sentence, though it is usually used either to mean before or after, not both of them.
2 past a certain point
b. used when saying how long before or after a particular time something is
There is «no further than» usage also.

Hi, the following sentence is quoted from the movie «The perfect man (2005)»
«
I planned this restaurant before I’d ever laid eyes on you
.»
In this sentence, [planned this restaurant] happened before [laid eyes on you], so I would say «I had planned this restaurant before I
ever laid eyes on you.»
But why did the author use past perfect «had ever laid eyes on you» here?
Need your help, thank you.
-
#2
With ‘before’, the past perfect is sometimes used in a rather special way. It can refer to a later action which was not completed, or which was not done in time.
He died before I had had a chance to speak to him.
She went out before I’d realized what was happening.
-
#3
A before clause is subordinate to a main clause, and connected to it timewise, so the tense-bearing verbs in both clauses have to be in the same tense. We don’t say things like «A happen
ed
before B happen
s
» or «A happen
s
before B happen
ed
» because that would be illogical.
But planned and had are both past tense verbs, which is fine. Logically, «A happened before B happened» means that B did
not
happen before A happened (when one thing happens before another, the other happens
after
the one [not before]), and similarly «A happened before B
had
happened» means that when A happened, B
had not
happened. So «I planned this restaurant before I had
ever
laid eyes on you» means that I had
never
laid eyes on you when I planned this restaurant. Perfectly logical.
The key to understanding this is the fact that before creates a sort of negative context (others clues to the negativity are the perfect and the adverb ever), and in a negative context a perfect is about something that did not happen before something else, not about a prior actual event.
I hope this makes sense.

He died before I had had a chance to speak to him.
She went out before I’d realized what was happening.
If I use this way, does it mean:
1.I hadn’t had a chance to speak to him when he died.
2.I hadn’t realized what was happening when she went out.
-
#5

1.I hadn’t had a chance to speak to him when he died.

Yes. It looks like you understand.

and similarly «A happened before B
had
happened» means that when A happened, B
had not
happened. So «I planned this restaurant before I had
ever
laid eyes on you» means that I had
never
laid eyes on you when I planned this restaurant. Perfectly logical.
So, it can also mean “B happened after A happened”. That is, “I laid eyes on you after I planned this restaurant”,which is equal to:
«I
had planned
this restaurant before I ever laid eyes on you.»
If I’m not mistaken, then what’s the difference between:
«I
had planned
this restaurant before I ever laid eyes on you.» And
“I planned this restaurant before I
had ever laid
eyes on you”
Thank you!

So, it can also mean “B happened after A happened”. That is, “I laid eyes on you after I planned this restaurant”,which is equal to:
«Ihad planned
this restaurant before I ever laid eyes on you.»
In «A happened before B had happened», the part about B is subordinate to the part about A. The sentence does not say that B happened, only that, when A happened, B had
not
happened.
If I’m not mistaken, then what’s the difference between:
«Ihad planned
this restaurant before I ever laid eyes on you.» And
“I planned this restaurant before Ihad ever laid
eyes on you”
Thank you!
There is no obvious difference, except in emphasis. The «had planned» sentence centers on some point in time
after
my planning, maybe even the point in time when I first laid eyes on you; the «had ever laid» sentence centers on the time of my planning, when I had
not
yet laid eyes on you.

I think I get it.
Now, I’ve learned a new usage of the past perfect.

You’re an outstanding student.
Before you understand the differences between the words “before” and “until”, you will need to read up until the end of this article. Hopefully before you finish reading, you will begin to make clear in your mind the instances where you can use “before” and “until.”
Don’t forget that before you begin to use these words in your own writing, you must first practice up until you are getting the hang of it. Just make sure that before you get someone to help you with your work, you are sure that they understand they cannot leave until they finish helping you with your essay/report, etc.
There are many instances where you may get confused if you are new to this topic. Just keep going and you will begin to make sense of everything before it’s too late and your homework is due. It will not be until that time where you will really need these skills.
The best way to drill these concepts into your head is repeatedly use them over and over until it is second nature and before you know it, you won’t even think about it. You’ll just do it automatically.
Let’s look at the definition and examples of each word before moving further:
Before:
Before an event, person, thing, or place in time
Before can be used as a preposition, an adverb or a conjunction.
Preposition:
Previous to; earlier or sooner than
Let’s go for a walk before noon.
Call me before 8pm.
In front of; ahead of; in advance of
She stood before the gate gazing inwards.
In preference to; rather than
They would die before surrendering.
In precedence of, as in order of rank
I put health before wealth.
In the presence or sight of:
He appeared before his peers.
Less than; until: used in indicating the exact time:
It’s 10 before 5.
Adverb:
In front; in advance; ahead:.
The king marched with his army marching before.
In time preceding; previously:
If we’d of known that, we would never have come.
Earlier or sooner:
Meet me at six o’clock, not before.
Conjunction:
Previous to the time when:
Send the email before we leave
Sooner than; rather than:
Death before dishonor
Until:
Up to a certain time or event takes place, or before a certain time or event.
“Until” can be used as a preposition or conjunction.
Preposition Examples:
He can’t leave town before Friday
We danced until dawn
Please stay here until I get back
Just wait until the movie is over
I will write these articles until 6 o’clock
Conjunction Examples:
You cannot leave until your work is finished.
We drove until it got dark.
He spoke until his throat was sore.
Please don’t talk to me until I’m off the phone
We studied until it was time to go to work
Sentence examples:
The renters would be there until Easter, when they planned to go back up north.
He would make the trip on foot, but not before he got some sleep.
Let’s wait until Dad gets home and make it a family event.
Let us go before the king and state our concerns.
They watched The Walking Dead all night until the sun came up.
It is important to put health before wealth.
How long will it be until we know if it’s a girl or a boy?
Jonathan watched Alex, his expression both anxious and enthused as Alex rode the horse until it settled down.
In conclusion the words “before” and “until” can commonly be mixed up by new English students. “Until” is always used to describe what is happening up until a certain event or time takes place. “Before” is always used to describe what is happening before a certain time or event takes place.
Remember that repetition is the mother of all skills. Drill it, drill it, drill it and before you know it, you’ll get it!
