entonces

then

The Spanish term for 'then' is 'entonces'. It is used in much the same way as in English - to indicate a sequence of events, e.g., 'You put on your shoes, then you go outside.' would translate as 'Te pones los zapatos, entonces sales.' It is also used to show a result or consequence, similar to 'so' in English.
