Understanding Adverbs of Time in History
During the 18th century, explorers traveled extensively across unknown territories. They often documented their journeys, noting the time of day and season. Many explorers would set out at dawn, travel for hours, and often arrive at their destination just before nightfall. Their diaries frequently contained detailed descriptions of the weather, the position of the sun, and the moments when significant events occurred. These meticulous records help historians understand the daily life and challenges faced by those early adventurers.
