Para expandir la oración con la preposición "during", debemos pensar en un evento durante el cual el líder habló. Un ejemplo podría ser "during the meeting". Entonces, la oración se convierte en "The leader spoke during the meeting."

Con la preposición "after", debemos pensar en un evento que ocurrió antes de que la barrera cayera. Por ejemplo, "after the earthquake". Entonces, la oración es "The barrier fell after the earthquake."

Usando "before", debemos pensar en un evento que ocurrió después de que ella practicara. Por ejemplo, "before the game". Entonces, la oración es "She practiced before the game."

The leader spoke during the meeting.
