Language/Fic Question

My French being appalling, I'm trying to figure out how to turn ""Après moi, le déluge" in to 'After him, the deluge', and all I'm getting is "Après il, le déluge", which I suspect is wrong in many ways.

I love grammar, and particularly French grammar, but I'm somewhat weird!

I can just about cope with English and German grammar, but French breaks my brain for some reason.

It's weird how language works because y'know, German has never made any sense to me at all. I keep trying and it never sticks.

I continue to blame my GCSE German teacher who totally failed to explain any grammar at all and so everything I "know" about German grammar is actually extrapolated from Latin!

With German, with the exception of irregular verbs, I like it because once you know the rule, it stays at that rule :)
