Changes in Pronoun
If a person says I got up, took a shower, got dressed, I went and had breakfast, we left for work… that change in pronoun tells us right away that there was somebody else.

Sometimes if we asked a person what happened: I got up, took a shower, got dressed, I had breakfast, later on I left for work. The ‘later on’ is a clue for us that something happened from the time they were having breakfast to the time they left for work.
