Writing practice
First, Then, Finally: 先…然后…最后
A Chinese friend wants to make a simple dish from your country. Write step-by-step instructions (50–120 characters), from what to buy first to how to eat it.
- Put the steps in order with 先…然后… / 接着…最后…
- Use a time clause ending in 以后 or 的时候 before the main verb
- Use 再 for "then" in an instruction
- Keep each step short and practical
Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
