IMO this is 'linguistics', specifically 'temporal conjunctions':

Language acquisition: Here is something about young children's ability to produce complex sentences and temporal conjunctions :
http://www.springerlink.com/content/p7724566587u111l/
On the Acquisition of Temporal Conjunctions in Finnish
‘three simultaneous and sequential events were acted out with toys in an elicitation task, and the production of and, and then, when, and after were observed.’

tense grammar: simple and complex temporal conjunction a la Halliday here: http://books.google.com/books?id=lorZvkqSdA4C&pg=PA361&lpg=P...

Child language development:
http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/custom/portlets/recordD...
Conjunction in children's discourse: 'the children used sentential conjunctions, especially sequential temporal conjunctions, far more frequently in narratives than in conversations.'

temporal conjunctions compared with temporal adverbs;

They assess this sort of thing for readers, with a cloze task (= fill in the gaps 填空) :

conjunction = 联合, 关联, 连接词 (Google)

another possibility:
using past present verb conjunctions -> using the past perfect verb conjugation (had)
(is that more likely?)
