Chronological order

I have to put these statements below in chronological order & figure out what the essential clues are.  I think the essential is the tenses, am I right???  Please help?????

These are the statements

a.  We're going to live in Cape Town

b.  After we've lived in Cape Town for a few years, we'll move back to Johannesburg.

c.  We live in Johannesburg.

d.  We lived in Durban for 5 years.

e.  We were going to move to Port Elizabeth in 1983 but my job there fell through

f.   By the time we move to Cape Town, we'll have spent 3 years in Johannesburg.

g.  We lived in Pretoria for a while before we moved to Durban.

essential clues are tenses and words like before and after that describe how two events are relative to each other in time.  From oldest to most current, the order is g,d,e,c,a,f,b

 

Whoever wrote this test, I think he had a few too many. This is a crazy test!

Chronological means time line. After reading it 4 times, I am still confused because of the tenses, names of cities and town and unclear description.  

 

If this is your answer:g, e, d, b, f, a, c, it would look like this:

 

 

   g.  We lived in Pretoria for a while before we moved to Durban.

   e.  We were going to move to Port Elizabethin 1983 but my job there fell through

 

  d  We lived in Durban for 5 years.

  b After we've lived in Cape Townfor a few years, we'll move back to Johannesburg.
  f.   By the time we move to Cape Town, we'll have spent 3 years in Johannesburg.
  a.  We're going to live in Cape Town 
  c.  We live in Johannesburg.

 

  It makes no sense to me. Maybe I need a drink to help me see better…

 

 

 

 

hi, chronological order, meaning, the order in which 'we' stayed in these places.

no, no, sorry, its the order in which these took place
