Then on Saturday night I went to my friend, Nat's, place... Then a friend from New Zealand phoned… Afterwards I relaxed and watched TV. Finally I went to bed at 10.30.

Then, afterwards and finally are time order words .

These tell us what happened first, what happened second... Other time order words are next, first, second, later, lastly, at the same time.
