SEQUENCE ADVERBS
Los adverbios de orden "first", "next", "then" y "finally" se utilizan para describir el orden en el cual
suceden dos o más acciones.

Ejemplo:
Cómo hacer una tortilla
"First, I break the eggs. Then, I heat the butter in a pan. Next, I add the eggs. Finally, I eat the
omelette with toast."

Forma
Se usa una coma después de "first", "next", "then" y "finally" cuando introducen la frase que
describe la acción.
• "first": para una acción que ocurre antes que otras. También podemos usar "first" al final de la
frase.
o "I have a lot of work to do. First, I will make a cup of tea."
o "I will make a cup of tea first."

• "next" y "then" pueden usarse tanto para una acción que sucede después de otra acción, pero
normalmente se usa:
"next": para una acción que ocurre inmediatamente después de otra acción, o tan pronto como
sea posible. También se puede usar " next " al final de la frase.
 o "I went to Bolivia on holiday. "Next", I want to go to Brazil."
o "I’m eating breakfast now. I will clean the kitchen "next"."

"then": para una acción que ocurre después de otra acción si no es inmediata. Se puede usar
"and then" sin coma.

o "Sarah is doing her degree. Then, she wants to be a lawyer."

Sarah will probably not be a lawyer immediately after she gets her degree.
o "They went shopping in the morning and then they went to the zoo."
We don’t know if they went to the zoo immediately after they went shopping.

• "finally": para la acción que ocurre al final, después de otras, o después de un largo tiempo. Se
puede usar "finally" antes del verbo sin una coma.
o "I worked all evening. Finally, I went to bed at 11pm."
o "I worked all evening and I finally went to bed at 11pm."
o "After five years, I finally sold the house."
