Adverbs of time

These adverbs tell us when, for how long, or how often something happened. The adverbs of time that tell us how often are the same as adverbs of frequency. Adverbs of time are usually put at the end of a sentence

Example; The test results will be ready today.

In the above sentence, the word today is the adverb. It tells us when the results will be ready.

You can eat your lunch now.

In the sentence above, now is the adverb. It gives us information about when lunch can be eaten.

I have not seen Akorfa since last week.

The phrase since last week tells us how long it has been since the speaker saw Akorfa.

The baby has been crying all morning.

In this sentence, all morning tells us how long the baby has been crying for.

They travel to Spain frequently.

In this sentence, the word frequently gives us an idea about how often they travel.

Adverbs of time can also be put in other positions in the sentence when we want to emphasise a part of it.

Example; Today, I will bake bread.

I will bake bread today.

The first sentence gives more importance to the time.

Last week we were burgled.

We were burgled last week.

Just like the previous example, in this example, the first sentence gives more importance to the time.
