You need to link them together using conjunctions. You already know that the last action is to be first.
Write down the order that things happened.
Think of conjunctions like "because, then, after, but, and "
Put the last thing that happened as your beginning Change the pronoun to the person's name as this always comes before a pronoun. This will mean that the rest of the story is in the past, past perfect or continuous tense.
I will do the example for you, but you need to complete the exercise yourself or you are not learning.
The last action in time was Peter arriving home.
He got up at dawn, drove 10 hours and then arrived home. He was tired as a result of this, so you could also start with that.
"Peter was tired because he got up at dawn and drove ten hours before arriving home."
You could also say: "Peter arrived home tired because he had driven for 10 hours after getting up at dawn."
