Now we need to begin to write our actual steps. So for this bit we need to order our steps carefully. For this we can use numbered steps or time connectives, you may even want to use both. Time connectives are words like First, Then, Next, After that, Now, Finally,
They should be at the start of your step followed by a comma.
You then need an imperative or bossy verb. The is the thing you want your person to do
cut, press, put, get, dry, rub, fold, scrub

Adjectives – warm, dry, fluffy,
Adverbs – carefully, thoroughly, gently
