先...再... means 'first... then...' Use it to arrange two actions in order.
先 marks the first action, and 再 marks the next action. It is common for plans, instructions, and daily routines. 再 in this pattern means 'then/afterwards,' not 'again.' Do not confuse it with 又, which often refers to repeated or additional completed actions.
