4. Language features
1. Using simple present tense

Procedure texts often use the simple present tense to describe
the steps in a process or how to do something. This tense is
marked by the use of base verbs (verb 1) and sometimes the
averb "to be" (is/are).
Example :
• "Mix the dough until it is smooth."

• "Pour the water into the pot."
• "Add some salt to taste.”
2. Using imperative sentence
Procedure texts frequently use imperative sentences, which are
commands or instructions given directly to the reader.
Examples:

• "Mix the dough until it is smooth."
• "Pour the water into the pot."
• "Add some salt to taste."
3. Using Adverbial Phrases (Descriptions of Time, Place, and
Attitude)
