What are temporal transitions?

Temporal transitions are used to show the frequency, duration, specific time, or beginning or end of something. The word 'temporal' refers to time, so temporal transitions are associated with time.

A temporal transition, showing the frequency of something, will show how regular or often something occurs. The phrase 'every Sunday' would be an example of this. Phrases like 'throughout the week' or 'over the next year' are examples of temporal transitions that refer to the duration of something. 'At noon' and 'when I worked at the office' are examples of temporal transitions referring to a specific time. Phrases like 'When the ceremony commenced' and 'finally' are examples of temporal transitions referring to the beginning or end of something.
