Temporal words are words that signal the order in which an event occurs. Some of these words include before, earlier, at first, and suddenly. Not only do these words show order, but they also allow the writing to flow more smoothly. Students should practice using these words in both speaking and writing. In this quiz, the students will determine which temporal word or phrase best makes sense in the story.
