Hi Vinay,

Shyone is right. Trust her. It should be B is followed by C/ B followed by C.

And then, and after that
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/followed_by

First comes 'A', and then, after that comes 'B'.

'B' follows 'A', therefore (since 'B' comes after 'A'), 'A' is followed by 'B'.

Consider the following sequence

A B C

Here, B is followed by C or C follows B

B is followed by C = C follows B

You might have seen the following line on the wedding invitation cards.

Lunch follows

Here, lunch follows the wedding which is same as saying the wedding is followed by lunch.

PS: Please explain me is wrong. You should say Please explain it to me.

Shyone and Daemon,

Thanks you very much for your explanations, now I got it.

Why “explain me” is wrong?

Verbs like explain, suggest, recommend etc should not be used that way.

Please suggest a good car. - Correct

Recommend me a good doctor. - Incorrect

All the people here in Miami say "explain me", even if they are "native" "English" speakers.Seems like it is in such common usage, maybe it will become "officially" accepted.
