Connectors turn sentences into a story: primero (first), luego (then), después (after that), finalmente (finally). Add y, pero, porque and también from earlier modules.
Primero comí. Luego jugué. Finalmente leí un libro. Any day becomes a paragraph. Entonces (so, then) links a cause to what followed.
luego and después both mean next or then; finalmente means finally and closes the list. entonces (so) links a cause to a result.
