[The first stage]

- The first stage is when S + V
- To begin with,
- The process commences with
- Initially,

[The middle stage] [Express purpose]

- This step involves + ing - A is done (so as) to produce B
- After this stage is complete, - A is done in order that B can be
- The next step is when S + V - So that (In order that)
- By this stage,
- The step after this,
- At the same time, / Meanwhile,
- Simultaneously, / Alternatively, [Cause and Result]
- While / As - A result in B
- Once A has finished, B is able to - A lead to B
start - A cause B
- At this point,

[The last stage]

- Once the final stage has been completed,
- Finally, / Eventually, /Ultimately,
