Step-by-step solution for: Sequence words in the past worksheet
Let’s solve this step by step.
The task is to match the correct sequence word (First, Then, After that, Next, Finally) to each sentence describing a morning routine, and then write the number (1–5) in the box under the corresponding picture that matches the sentence.

A typical morning routine for a child going to school would be:
1. Wake up
2. Take a shower and get dressed
3. Brush teeth
4. Have breakfast
5. Go to school
But let’s look at the sentences given:
> ______, I woke up.
> ______, I took a shower and get dressed.
> ______, I had breakfast.
> ______, I brushed my teeth.
> ______, I went to school.
We need to assign the sequence words logically.
---
- “First” — This must go with the very first action: I woke up.
- “Then” — The next logical step after waking up is to take a shower and get dressed.
- “After that” — What comes after getting dressed? Often, brushing teeth — especially if you brush *after* showering but *before* breakfast.
- “Next” — Then you have breakfast.
- “Finally” — The last thing before leaving: I went to school.
✔ So the correct matching is:
1. First, I woke up.
2. Then, I took a shower and get dressed.
3. After that, I brushed my teeth.
4. Next, I had breakfast.
5. Finally, I went to school.
*(Note: Some might argue brushing teeth happens before breakfast — which is actually more realistic. But since the sentence “I had breakfast” comes before “I brushed my teeth” in the list, we must follow the order as presented in the worksheet. However, looking again — the sentences are NOT in order! We are to assign the sequence words based on logical daily routine, not the order they are written.)*
Wait — let’s re-read the instructions:
> “Match the correct sequence Word and write the number in the box according to the text.”
This means: the sentences are listed in random order, and we must assign the correct sequence word (First, Then, etc.) to each one based on the logical timeline.
So we must reorder the actions into the correct chronological sequence, then assign the sequence words accordingly.

Correct morning routine:
1. I woke up. → First
2. I took a shower and got dressed. → Then
3. I brushed my teeth. → After that (commonly done after showering, before breakfast)
4. I had breakfast. → Next
5. I went to school. → Finally
✔ So the correct assignment of sequence words to sentences is:
- First → I woke up.
- Then → I took a shower and get dressed.
- After that → I brushed my teeth.
- Next → I had breakfast.
- Finally → I went to school.
*(Even though "brushed my teeth" is written after "had breakfast" in the list, we ignore the printed order and assign based on real-life logic.)*
---
Now, match each picture to its sentence, then write the number (1 to 5) in the box under the picture, based on the sequence.
Let’s identify each picture:
1. Girl walking to school with backpack → matches “I went to school.” → This is #5 (Finally)
2. Girl stretching in bed (waking up) → matches “I woke up.” → This is #1 (First)
3. Girl brushing teeth → matches “I brushed my teeth.” → This is #3 (After that)
4. Girl eating breakfast at table → matches “I had breakfast.” → This is #4 (Next)
5. Girl taking a shower → matches “I took a shower and get dressed.” → This is #2 (Then)

Step 1: Understand the logical order of a morning routine
A typical morning routine for a child going to school would be:
1. Wake up
2. Take a shower and get dressed
3. Brush teeth
4. Have breakfast
5. Go to school
But let’s look at the sentences given:
> ______, I woke up.
> ______, I took a shower and get dressed.
> ______, I had breakfast.
> ______, I brushed my teeth.
> ______, I went to school.
We need to assign the sequence words logically.

Step 2: Assign sequence words correctly
- “First” — This must go with the very first action: I woke up.
- “Then” — The next logical step after waking up is to take a shower and get dressed.
- “After that” — What comes after getting dressed? Often, brushing teeth — especially if you brush *after* showering but *before* breakfast.
- “Next” — Then you have breakfast.
- “Finally” — The last thing before leaving: I went to school.
✔ So the correct matching is:
1. First, I woke up.
2. Then, I took a shower and get dressed.
3. After that, I brushed my teeth.
4. Next, I had breakfast.
5. Finally, I went to school.
*(Note: Some might argue brushing teeth happens before breakfast — which is actually more realistic. But since the sentence “I had breakfast” comes before “I brushed my teeth” in the list, we must follow the order as presented in the worksheet. However, looking again — the sentences are NOT in order! We are to assign the sequence words based on logical daily routine, not the order they are written.)*
Wait — let’s re-read the instructions:

This means: the sentences are listed in random order, and we must assign the correct sequence word (First, Then, etc.) to each one based on the logical timeline.
So we must reorder the actions into the correct chronological sequence, then assign the sequence words accordingly.

Step 3: Reorder the actions chronologically
Correct morning routine:
1. I woke up. → First
2. I took a shower and got dressed. → Then
3. I brushed my teeth. → After that (commonly done after showering, before breakfast)
4. I had breakfast. → Next
5. I went to school. → Finally
✔ So the correct assignment of sequence words to sentences is:
- First → I woke up.
- Then → I took a shower and get dressed.
- After that → I brushed my teeth.
- Next → I had breakfast.
- Finally → I went to school.
*(Even though "brushed my teeth" is written after "had breakfast" in the list, we ignore the printed order and assign based on real-life logic.)*

Step 4: Match pictures to sentences and write numbers 1–5
Now, match each picture to its sentence, then write the number (1 to 5) in the box under the picture, based on the sequence.
Let’s identify each picture:
1. Girl walking to school with backpack → matches “I went to school.” → This is #5 (Finally)
2. Girl stretching in bed (waking up) → matches “I woke up.” → This is #1 (First)
3. Girl brushing teeth → matches “I brushed my teeth.” → This is #3 (After that)
4. Girl eating breakfast at table → matches “I had breakfast.” → This is #4 (Next)
5. Girl taking a shower → matches “I took a shower and get dressed.” → This is #2 (Then)

✔ Final Answer: Numbers to write in boxes under each picture
From left to right, top to bottom (as arranged in the image):
- Top Left: Girl walking to school → 5
- Top Right: Girl waking up → 1
- Bottom Left: Girl brushing teeth → 3
- Bottom Middle: Girl eating breakfast → 4
- Bottom Right: Girl showering → 2
