INGLES REVISE EL VOCABULARIO
We use adverbs of time to describe when something happens.
Adverbs of time describe a specific time.
Past | Present | Future |
---|---|---|
yesterday | today | tomorrow |
last night | tonight | tomorrow night |
last week last month last year | this week this month this year | next week next month next year |
then | now | then soon |
Adverbs of time almost always come at the end of a sentence.

We were late for the concert yesterday.
We will go to the party tonight.
The team is coming now.
They are coming soon.

If the specific time is important, we can put the adverb of time at the beginning of the sentence.

Adverbs of sequence also describe time. We use adverbs of sequence to describe the order in which things happen. We often use adverbs of sequence to tell a story, write a recipe, or give directions.
Adverbs of sequence almost always come at the beginning of a sentence and are followed by a comma (,):
Before breakfast, you should clean your room.
After lunch, I go to the shop.
First, do your homework.
Second, wash the dishes.
Third, walk the dog.
Next, read to your sister.
Finally, you can relax.
First and next can also go at the end of a sentence.
