Giving a Structured Presentation
संरचित प्रस्तुति देना
Hindi already uses a similarly small signpost set — सबसे पहले ('first of all'), फिर ('then'), अंत में ('finally') — so this concept transfers directly, with just new French words to learn. These structuring adverbs don't take कि or trigger any special verb form in Hindi, and the same holds in French: they don't take que or trigger any special mood, unlike some of the more complex connectors you'll meet later that do govern subjonctif.

tout d'abord / ensuite / enfin — sequencing adverbs, structurally identical to Hindi's own signposts
Tout d'abord, je vais parler de... Ensuite... Enfin...
सबसे पहले, मैं ... के बारे में बात करूँगा/करूँगी। फिर... अंत में...
Hindi's own presentation signposts — सबसे पहले, फिर, अंत में — work exactly the same way as French's tout d'abord, ensuite, enfin: plain adverbs slotted at the start of a sentence, with no effect on the following verb's mood or structure. Because the concept transfers directly, the only real task here is memorizing the French words themselves, not any new grammar.
