1) Later: It is used to represent a delayed event or something that has been delayed. ex: I'll do my work later.
2) Meanwhile: If we use the word Meanwhile then we represent the idea of engaging in some work while the other work is being done. ex: Lisa is discussing, meanwhile Ram is doing the work.
3) Before: It shows that something falls prior to the other. It is also used to represent an idea before someone. ex: Lets do it before it's too late.
4) Next: Used to represent succession. ex: He is sitting right next to Lisa.
5) After: The only difference between next and after is that next refers to the thing or event happening just after the former one, whereas after regrets to the event taking place at any time later than the prior one. ex: The tower is just after that building.
6) Then: It shows the outcome of an event (work done after an event) or the condition laid after a completion of an event. ex: He was walking down the path then suddenly the tree collapsed.
7) While: Used to show that the work is being done (used to show a sudden event during the happening of the another one). ex: While he was playing, his mother slept.
8) Ultimately: Represent the final outcome. ex: The nuclear bombings ultimately ended the world war.
9) First: Used to represent something that happens prior to all the other events. It is also used to represent priority. ex: First complete your home work then play.
10) Eventually: Taking place due to an event. ex: He walked in the arid desert in search of water, eventually he fell.
11) Recently: Shows the latest event. ex: The U.S. presidential elections have taken place recently.
12) at length: Something present handy. ex: In case of a catastrophe the rescue operation would be at length.
13) When: It is used to know the time of happening of an event. ex: When are you going to London?
14) initially: It shows the position condition of a thing at the very beginning. ex: The village was initially prosperous.
