later, and finally.

Types of chronological order

Chronological order may recount a series of events that happened over
time. Chronological order organizes events from one point in time to
another.

Chronological order in a text

Chronology is a text structure that describes events in the order they occur. Words such as first,
next, during, and finally signal this text structure, as do dates that tell when the events
happened.

Time order word

The time order words 'first', 'after that', 'then', and 'finally' help to bring the events together and
tell you which ones happened first, second, third and last.
Example: Malika and Sam went out on Sunday. They met each other at 5:00 pm. Then they
walked to a nearby movie theater and watched a movie from 5:30 to 7:00.

first , next , then , after that , and finally .
A sequence is a set of numbers in a particular order or a set of numbers
that follow a pattern. The most basic sequential order example is that

process, event or tell stories.

CONSECUTIVE ORDER

Consecutive order means one after the other. This may be a period of
time such as days. Any regular time intervals such as each year, each
month, and so on are consecutive over. Consecutive order often refers to
numbers.

An example of consecutive numbers would be 1, 2, 3 or 9, 10, 11.

Consecutive order is not a writing style.
