Sequence markers can signal how to interpret the relationship between sentences in a number

of different ways.
For example:
1. They can indicate chronological order, or order of importance (e.g. first ... secondly ... thirdly;
to begin with .... next ... to conclude).
2. They can add to or reinforce what has already been said (e.g. furthermore; in addition; what
is more). 3. They can indicate that two propositions have equal status (likewise; similarly).
4. They can indicate cause-result relationships (e.g. consequently; so; as a result).
5. They can indicate that a given proposition contradicts an earlier one (e.g. conversely; on the
contrary;by way of contrast).
6. They can indicate concession (e.g. nevertheless; in any case; for all that; all the same).
7. Sometimes a distinction is made between internal and external sequencers, i.e. the use of
these markers to indicate ‘real world’ events (external), or ‘rhetorical organization’ (internal).
For example, First of all .... then .... finally can indicate chronological sequence (external), or
order of importance. (internal)

and attacks King Hrothgar's mead-hall, Heorot, every evening. ... Although he can't be harmed
by the blade of any edged weapon, Grendel finally meets his match when the Geatish
warrior Beowulf takes him on in a wrestling match.
