This document discusses chronological order and the use of time clues in chronological writing. It notes that all kinds of time clues, including prepositional phrases of time, are used in chronological order. Enumerators are rarely used and numerals or listing signals like "first", "second", "third" are used instead to indicate items in a list when writing chronologically. Verbs are usually in past form rather than present form when writing chronologically.
