π Time Order Words: Understanding Sequencing
Sequencing is all about putting events in the correct order, just like telling a story from beginning to end! π Time order words are special clues that help us know when things happen. Think of them as signal words that guide you through a sequence of events. For example, words like 'first,' 'next,' 'then,' 'after that,' and 'finally' tell us exactly when each step takes place. Learning to use these words helps you understand stories better and write your own clear instructions or narratives! βοΈ
