What's 'following" mean here? And how can I use that in a sentence?

"Following" is a preposition meaning "coming after," "after," or "as a result of." Thus, you can understand "before answering questions following France's win" to mean "before answering questions after France's win." Ex: The city was put under lockdown following the discovery of numerous new COVID-19 cases. Ex: Following graduation from university, I soon found a stable job and settled down.
