    example, first, next, then, next, after that, finally. We often use sequences in
    English when we give instructions, describe a process, or tell stories.

    Answer these questions using the correct sequencers (first, next, then, next, after that, or finally).

    1. first the alarm woke me up. Then, I took a shower. After that, I ate my
    breakfast and ate to school.

    2.Add sequencers (first, then) in the correct spot in the following sentence: I
    bought coffee and went to the movie. (THEN)
    3.First, do your homework. AFTER THAT , you can see your friends.

    7.Let me tell you about how terrible last night was. FIRST I lost my wallet. I was

    drink on my favorite shirt. The night got even worse. When it was time to
    leave, I realized it was raining and I had forgotten my umbrella and didn't have
    money for a cab. I walked home for one hour in the rain. What a terrible night.
