Linking Words & Connectors Dictation: Sequence and Time

Listen for the word that puts the events in order. Before and after tell you which action comes earlier; while links actions happening during the same period. As soon as suggests that one follows promptly, whereas once marks reaching the point when the next action can happen. Keep the whole linker, including all three words of as soon as. By the time gives you a later reference point. Hear both actions before typing, and retain their spoken verb forms so the sequence stays clear.
