Time-order words can help show when things happen. They can be used to show how ideas or events go together.

Some time-order words tell you that an event is in the past, present, or future.

Recently we moved to a new town in the mountains. Soon we will know our way around.

There was a lot of rain earlier. Now you can still see puddles on the street.

Today we are packing. Our plane will leave early tomorrow.

Other time-order words show the order of events.

Let's check the weather first. We can make our plans afterward.

First, take two pieces of bread. Next, put peanut butter on the bread. Finally, enjoy the sandwich.

Recently makes the most sense here. It tells you that an event is in the past.

Recently I learned how to play the flute. Now I'm thinking of trying out for the school band.
