The 'Then' Flow
When you tell a story in English, you move from one event to the next. Look at how the text connects actions:

The Pattern: Use 'Then' to show the next step in a sequence. It is the simplest way to move a story forward.
Action Words: Now vs. Before
Notice how the words change when we talk about the past and the present:
| Past (Finished) | Present (Now) |

Key Tip: To talk about a finished time (like 2011 or 2016), we often add -ed to the word (stopped, helped) or use a special form (won).
