What time words are used for
Time words — 'dawn', 'season', 'moment', 'century' — are structural tools for writers: they set pace and scale the way place words set scenery. A random time word at the top of a journaling session ('write about a dawn') reliably shifts the register toward the reflective.
For learners, time vocabulary is high-leverage grammar bait: it forces practice with prepositions ('in the morning', 'on Monday', 'at night') and tense choices that pure noun drills never touch. It also makes a sneaky-hard charades category — try acting 'yesterday'.
