Sequence connectors
-
Here we have the connectors "in the beginning" and "in the end". The former is used to describe a fact at the beginning of an event, and its opposite "in the end" is used to refer to the last occurrence of an event.
First of all we have the "at first" connector. This connector reflects the events that occurred at the beginning of a situation that is occurring or, failing that, that has already ended.
FIRSTLY/ SECONDLY/ THIRDLY
Now we have the "firstly, secondly and thirdly" connectors. These connectors are very useful for listing items that are related to the same topic.
And the last connector on this long list is the "next" connector. This connector expresses actions that will be passed on to another.
The “meanwhile” connector reflects an action that occurs in parallel to another, that is, while another action is taking place.
The connector “at present” will help you to express a situation that exists in the present but could change in the future.
The "afterwards" connector is a synonym for the "after that" connector. It will be up to you which of the two to use.
TO START WITH/ TO BEGIN WITH
The first thing to keep in mind is that the connectors "to start with" and "to begin with" are synonymous, so you can use one or the other. The second thing is that these connectors can be used to refer to the first stage or event of a process.
The “later” connector will help you to express that an action will take place at some point in the future, and also to express actions that happen shortly after a certain event.
The connectors "eventually" and "finally" are also synonymous and as I said before, you can use the one you consider most appropriate. These connectors are used to describe the outcome of an event.
On the other hand, we have the "then" connector. If you want to express an action that was carried out, that is carried out or that will be carried out after an event, this connector is a good ally.
On the other hand we have the connectors "last of all" and "lastly". Both are synonymous, and you can use it to express the last event in a chain of events that has been occurring.
We also have the “after that” connector. This connector is useful for expressing an action that is performed immediately after a previous action has completed
Many times we tell stories, either by writing or relating them, and English offers you a series of words that help you organize ideas in chronological order in order to carry a succession of the events that are being related.
