What is an Adverb of Time?

Adverbs of time, tell us when a verb takes place. We usually place adverbs of time at the end of a sentence. For example, I first met Paul last year. If you want to place more emphasis on the time then it can place at the start of the sentence – Last year was the best year of my life.
