The language used is typically direct and imperative, employing verbs in the imperative mood to command the reader to perform an action.

Descriptions of tools, materials, or ingredients required for the process are also frequently included to ensure the reader is adequately prepared.

It usually begins with a statement of the goal or purpose of the procedure, followed by a list of necessary items.

Finally, some procedural texts may include tips, warnings, or troubleshooting advice to help the reader navigate potential difficulties. The objective is to convey information in a way that minimizes ambiguity and maximizes the chance of successful completion of the task.
