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 Action Verbs:
Action verbs are used to describe the physical actions that need
to be taken in each step.
Examples :
• "Put the chicken in the oven."
• "Cut the vegetables into small pieces."

• "Fry the onions until they are golden brown."
4. Using Connectives (conjunctions):
Connectives are used to sequence the steps in the procedure,
making it clear what happens first, next, and last.
Examples:

• "First, preheat the oven."
• "Then, add the sugar."
• "After that, stir the mixture continuously."
• "Finally, serve the dish while it's hot."
