What is a Sequence Adverb?
Sequence adverbs are used to help describe a progression of events. Often used in recipes or instructions, sequence adverbs such as “first,” “then,” “next,” “after that,” and “finally” contain information about the order of actions and create natural transitions in writing.

Point 1: Sequence adverbs often come at the start of a sentence or clause and act as a marker as to order.
Point 2: However, some sequence adverbs like 'first' and 'next' can come at the end of a sentence or clause.
- You have to boil the water first.
- Press the red button next.
Point 3: 'Next', 'then' and 'after that' are interchangeable. They mark something between the start and finish.
- First, go down Cane Street.
After that turn left onto Oak. - First, get behind a rock.
Then you can push the detonator.
Point 4: We often use sequence markers when giving instructions on how to do something, make something or go somewhere.
- First, get a can opener,
- Then, open the can of chili.
