Adverbs of Time nedir?

Eylemlerin ne zaman, ne sıklıkla ve ne kadar süreyle yapıldığını gösteren ingilizce zarf türlerine adverbs of time denir. Zaman zarflarını kullanılan amaca ve yere göre 3 temel türe ayırabilmemiz mümkündür.

Adverbs of time tell us about;

a specific time of the actions with the question when,
the frequencies of the actions with the question how often,
the duration of the actions with the question how long,

1- Adverbs of definite time

We should ask the subject about when the action is happening to find these kinds of adverbs of time. For instance; I am going to New York. If we ask when you will go, our answer may be “today”, “now”, “yesterday” etc. We can categorize all these answers within this group of adverbs because they answer the question “when”. Therefore, they are not adverbs of frequencies. They are also not the adverbs of durations.

Examples for Adverbs of Definite Time
Already	We have already* put actions in place*

2- Adverbs of duration

These types of adverbs show the length of actions. We learn about it by asking “how long”, “since when” and “up to what” questions.
