Sequence adverbs

What are sequence adverbs?

Sequence adverbs are used to describe the order in which two or more actions happen, and help us understand the time relationship between sentences and ideas. Sequence adverbs include: First, next, then, after that and finally.

Sequence adverbs

-Example : How to make a omelette? "First, I heat the butter in a pan. Next, I break the eggs. Then, I add the eggs in the pan. Finally, I eat the omelette with toast."

Sequence adverbs

We use first to express that action happens before any others and can place it at the beginning and the end of a sentence.

Estructura First: Examples: "I have a lot of work to do. First, I will make a cup of tea." "I will make a cup of tea first." Next : Pueden usarse tanto para una acción que sucede después de otra acción, pero normalmente se usa: "next": para una acción que ocurre inmediatamente después de otra acción, o tan pronto como sea posible. También se puede usar " next " al final de la frase. Examples: "I went to Bolivia on holiday. "Next", I want to go to Brazil." "I’m eating breakfast now. I will clean the kitchen "next".

Then: Para una acción que ocurre después de otra acción si no es inmediata. Se puede usar "and then" sin coma. "They went shopping in the morning and then they went to the zoo." We don’t know if they went to the zoo immediately after they went shopping.

After that: Se utiliza siempre antes del final del texto. Example: After cleaning the house, she left the house Finally: Para la acción que ocurre al final, después de otras, o después de un largo tiempo. Se puede usar "finally" antes del verbo sin una coma. "I worked all evening. Finally, I went to bed at 11pm." "I worked all evening and I finally went to bed at 11pm." "After five years, I finally sold the house"
