Like Cucumber, xBehave.net does not make any distinction between Given, When, Then, And and But steps.
"Given the number 1"
.x(() => x = 1);
"And the number 2"
.x(() => y = 2);
"And a calculator"
.x(() => calculator = new Calculator());
"When I add the numbers together"
.x(() => answer = calculator.Add(x, y));
"Then the answer is 3"
.x(() => Assert.Equal(3, answer));
Instead of using Given, When, Then, you may choose to use another vocabulary, such as Arrange, Act, Assert (3A's)
"Arrange 1"
.x(() => x = 1);
"Arrange 2"
.x(() => y = 2);
"Arrange calculator"
.x(() => calculator = new Calculator());
"Act"
.x(() => answer = calculator.Add(x, y));
"Assert"
.x(() => Assert.Equal(3, answer));
or xSpec style:
"Establish 1"
.x(() => x = 1);
"Establish 2"
.x(() => y = 2);
"Establish calculator"
.x(() => calculator = new Calculator());
"Because I add the numbers together"
.x(() => answer = calculator.Add(x, y));
"It answers 3"
.x(() => Assert.Equal(3, answer));
You can even extend xBehave.net with method and attribute names which are better suited to your chosen vocabulary.
