Sequence Words

Sequence words are used to help the reader keep track of the order of events in a paragraph. Here are some sequence words. 


	before		after		next

	finally		first		second

	third		then		last of all
It's easy to write a paragraph using these words which makes the order of the events being described more clear. 

	  The other day I went to a pie shop to sample different
	kinds of pie. First I tried some raspberry pie. It was 
	tasty. Next I tried some blackberry pie. After that I
	tried some boysenberry pie. Finally I tried some huckleberry
	pie. The huckleberry pie was my favorite.
From the information presented in this paragraph we could make a list showing the order in which the different kinds of pie were tried.
  1. raspberry
  2. blackberry
  3. boysenberry
  4. huckleberry
