«She was to the southwest of him, moving faster than he could walk. He followed after her in the bright moonlight.»
I always thought that the pattern is «follow smb/smth», not «follow after». What is more, my dictionaries don’t mention «follow after» at all. And yet it is used.
So, is there any difference? For example:
«He went out of the room. I followed him.»
«He went out of the room. I followed after him.»

I don’t know that it is always true, but often «followed after him/her» implies that it is being done without the person’s knowledge.

It’s sloppy English, but recognizable. «Follow» implies being behind (after) something, so this is a tautologous sentence. Of your examples, the first is correct, the second is a tautology, but often seen.

If it’s sloppy English, it’s old sloppy English. It’s very common in the King James Version of the Bible. I’m not convinced that it’s simply sloppy English.
If I say, «The king came by. His courtiers followed him.» it would mean something different to me than «The king came by. His courtiers followed after him.» The first indicates a order of events, such as relative positions in a parade or a procession. The second indicates that the courtiers are tagging along behind the king. In other words, their attention is on the king in the second case, and not necessarily on the king at all in the first case. That’s all personal interpretation. I’d be interested in hearing if other people see them as communicating different shades of meaning.

Based on some dictionary browsing and a good look at the examples in the Bible, it seems that if I exaggerate the difference a little:
Follow, by itself, is a statement of sequence in space or time.
Follow after is a statement of volition, of active pursuit.

Some times follow after could mean «according with» or «in obedience». Judge if it is right in this example: «Not every act of the king’s life was as the Lord would have desired, but his pattern was to follow after God».

Is the expression «follow after», e.g; «He followed after her», grammatically incorrect or an awkward phrasing?
I use the phrase «follow after» to put an emphasis on the action, it also gives me a subtle impression of dependence, as if, the subject is following the other person either very closely or is «following at the heels» of that person, and if they had lingered in the previous room, for instance, they’d run to catch that person.
I have googled my issue, and found one site (wordreference.com) with a thread on this and with various answers. I’m also guessing that the answer technically lies in the definition of «follow». However, I kept seeing this phrase used several times in different books, and I have been using it myself.
I have seen that it might be:
- Sloppy English. Yet numerous works seem to use it? I wouldn’t have picked up on it, otherwise.
- Might indicate tagging along
- Might imply following someone without their knowledge.
As you can see, I’ve interpreted this phrase completely differently. I have also seen that «follow» is a statement of sequence in space or time and follow after is a statement of volition, of active pursuit (which contradicts with the statement that it implies following someone without their knowledge).
Could you guys offer some clarifications and a final say on what follow/follow after actually mean/imply?
