Transition words are words and phrases that help show the order of events. They help describe the order in which things happened. Some transition words are "first," "next," and "finally."

An event that happens later happens after some time has passed. Read the following passage. Dara baked some fresh chocolate chip cookies. After they finished cooking, she waited for them to cool.
