Listen to the audio and complete the sentence below.
BLANK I reviewed the error logs more carefully.
Then
This word is used to show the next step in a sequence of actions. It's in the beginning of the sentence, so don't forget to capitalize it.
Then is used to indicate the next action in a sequence of events. It shows what happens after something else. For example:
I turned on the computer, and then I opened my email. - You only opened the email after turning on the computer.
We fixed the bug, then we tested the application again. - They only tested the application again after fixing the bug.
In James's sentence, he uses then to explain the next action he took after checking the recent changes made to the code.
Other words and phrases that can be used with the same meaning as then in this context are after that and next. For example:
I checked the updates. After that, I started debugging.
I reviewed the requirements. Next, I shared my thoughts with the team..
These words help structure descriptions of actions in chronological order.
