Some of the most useful vocabulary for describing a process is the language of sequencing. This means that you need to find language to say in what order each thing happens.

The key here is variation. Try not to use "and then" "and then" all the time. Here are some

alternatives

1.Stage and step----two of the most useful words you can learn for processes.

Word Example

Stage The first stage in the process is that the customer offers to pay by credit card.

Step The next step is the payment must be authorised by the credit card authority.

2.Before and after----Each of these words has grammar you need to learn. The good news is that each word shares the same grammar.

Before/after verb ING

eg Before receiving the goods, the customer must first have his credit card payment authorised.

Before/after verb phrase

eg Before the customer can receive the goods, the credit card payment must first be authorised

notes:

You cannot use a "will" after these words: so you cannot write "Before the customer will receive the goods".

Be careful with "after" and "afterwards": you use "afterwards" with a comma to mean later.

Afterwards, the merchant receives payment from his bank."

3.Until----This is a tricky but extremely useful word. Its general use is to describe something that happens up to a point in time and then stops. It is frequently used as "not until"

grammar example

until verb prase The customer cannot receive his goods until the

payment has been authorised.

notes

Like "before" and "after", "until" is not used with a "will"

Be careful with the spelling. Until only has one 'l", unlike "till" which has "ll"

4.Once ----Another useful word. This means almost the same as "After".

eg Once the consumer's bank has authorised payment, the goods can be released to the customer

5.Having ----This is an excellent grammatical structure to use. It is just the sort of English that will impress the examiner.

Having third form of verb

eg Having authorised payment by credit card, the consumer's issuing bank releases funds to the

merchant's bank.
