- Examples of sentences with adverbs of time
The adverbs of time are those adverbs that provide information about the moment when the action of the verb is performed.

What role do they play in prayer?
Adverbs of time provide temporal information and modify the verb, therefore they are present in the predicate of the sentence. Within the sentence, the adverbs of time form:
- Circumstantial of time. For example: My cousins always come here on vacation. ("always" is circumstantial of time)
- Situational complements of time (if they are headed by a preposition). For example: I don't usually ride a motorcycle in the winter. ("during winter" is a circumstantial complement of time)
