Explanation
Adverbs showing the time an action is or is not done, and answering qachon?, are adverbs of time. They include endi (now, from now on), hozircha (for now), so‘ngra (afterwards), hanuz (still), hamisha (always), doimo (always), hamon (still), dastlab (at first), erta-indin (soon, in a day or two), qishin-yozin (winter and summer), kecha-kunduz (day and night). Adverbs of time show at what time or for how long an action goes on: doimo (all the time), dastlab (first), hanuz (still). Paired adverbs of time are written with a hyphen: qishin-yozin, erta-indin, kecha-kunduz. In a sentence an adverb of time works as an adverbial of time.
