Use 先是……然后…… to describe two stages in time: first one situation/action, then another. It is more narrative than simple 先……再…… and often describes how something developed. Use it when the sentence needs this exact logical relation, not just because the English or Vietnamese translation sounds similar. Keep the key marker in its normal position and make the two parts semantically connected. Common mistakes include dropping the second marker, reversing the order, or using the pattern for unrelated ideas.
