nciku Note

回头 and 等一会儿

“回头”做副词时,与“等会儿”一样可以表示稍过一会儿,都可以做状语。
When 回头 as a adverb, both words can mean “a moment later.”
(1)我有事先挂了,回头(等会儿)给你打过去。
(2)你先出去吧,回头(等会儿)我再找你。
(3)我回头(等会儿)告诉他,让他帮你带去。
“等会儿”可拆开,如“等了一会儿”,“回头”作为副词是不能拆开的。
等会儿 can be separated by inserting a word, e.g. 等了一会儿. 回头 cannot be separated when it is a adverb.
(4)我在外面等了他一会儿。
