How to say "succession of actions" (linguistics) in Japanese?

The context here is linguistics, as for instance, "The conjunct "and" is used
to express a succession of actions".

I found that 'succession' is said 連続 and I bet it is the correct word for this
expression. But I can't find the correct word for 'action' here. From
different searches on Google, I found some instances of "作用の連続" or "アクションの連続",
but I don't know, it seems it is not so common.

How to say "succession of actions" (linguistics) in Japanese?
I don't know the technical term, but just as a Japanese phrase, the most
likely is 連続した動作. 動作の連続 may work as well. The difference between the two is
the emphasis is on _action_ in the former, _succession_ in the latter.

As a linguistic term, we say **継起【けいき】** (literally: "successive occurrence").

For example, from a random [English learning
website](https://englischool.com/participial-construction/):

> 2-1. 継起「～して」
>
> Taking a key out f my bag, I opened the box. 私はかばんから鍵を取り出して、その箱を開けた。
