🕒 The "Then" Shift

When we tell a story, we use a special word to show that time has moved forward or things have changed.

The Pattern: [Action A] \rightarrow Then \rightarrow [Action B]

From the story:

  1. Glasgow played well \rightarrow Then \rightarrow the game changed.

Why this helps you (A2 level): Instead of just listing facts, using "Then" connects your ideas. It turns a list into a story.

Try these simple swaps:

  • I woke up. \rightarrow Then I had coffee.
  • It was sunny. \rightarrow Then it rained.
