ensuite VS puis in French
Rule
ensuite and puis both mean 'afterwards, then', but ensuite is a time adverb which can occur in the middle of a clause (for the position of adverbs), while puis is a coordinating conjunction which can occur only at the beginning of a clause:
Examples
- Il a payé l'addition, et il est ensuite parti
He paid the bill, and afterwards left
- Il a payé l'addition, puis il est parti
He paid the bill, then he left
