Put the events of a short story in orderرتّب أحداث حكاية قصيرة

The idea, simply

Sequence words make a story easy to follow: First for the start; then, after that, and later for what follows; finally or in the end for the last event. Put a comma after these words when they start the sentence, except then, which usually has no comma.

Examples

• After that, we took a taxi to the hotel.

• First, we landed at midnight.

• In the end, we found our bags.
