How to use Before in a sentence?

1. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe:

   The IOC's decision is along the lines of what I said before, of holding the event in its complete form. If that becomes difficult -- and thinking first about the health of the athletes -- we may have no option but to consider postponing the Games.

2. Leif Johannsen:

   It was a nightmare scenario that I have seen others experience before, a scenario in which there is no rulebook on how the problem should be solved. It only went well because we worked together. People on the ground and me in the air with a calm skydiver waiting for us to help him.

3. Keith Ludwig:

   If there was a problem before, they should have said something before, and, I mean, why all of a sudden does it have to come down?

4. Comptroller Thomas Curry:

   That was meant to flag the issue for the banks so they can take corrective action now on their own before going through any type of examination cycle.

5. Donald Trump:

   He has not told me what he's found, but I think he wants to go before Congress and say, and also to the Attorney General and the Department of Justice, I hear he's found plenty.
