The idea

A routine becomes easier to follow when you put actions in order.

You already know actions like trabajo and como. Add a few time words to connect them.

Put your day in order.

01PrimeroPronunciation: pree-MEH-rohFirst.02DespuésPronunciation: des-PWESAfterwards / then.03LuegoPronunciation: LWEH-gohThen / later.04Por últimoFinally.

Build a morning sequence.

01Primero me levanto y me ducho.First I get up and shower.02Después desayuno en casa.Afterwards I have breakfast at home.03Luego voy al trabajo.Then I go to work.

Say how often.

01NormalmentePronunciation: nor-mal-MEN-tehUsually.02Siempre desayuno.I always have breakfast.03A veces como fuera.Sometimes I eat out.04Nunca trabajo los domingos.I never work on Sundays.

Your usual pattern can have exceptions.

01

Usual

Normalmente voy andando.I usually walk there.

02

Exception

Pero los lunes voy en metro.But on Mondays I go by metro.

Ask about someone else’s routine.

01¿Qué haces después del trabajo?What do you do after work?02Voy al gimnasio y luego ceno.I go to the gym and then have dinner.03¿Y los fines de semana?And at weekends?

Remember this

Use a time word, an action and one useful detail.

Normalmente desayuno en casa. Después voy al trabajo en metro. That is already a clear routine.
