Urgent - could someone please tell me what a "temporal connective" is?

[christywhisty]

Ds has to underline them in his homework. Is it words like until?

Think so , words like while, when , then ie which link 2 clauses. They went into school when the bell rang.

linking words related to time e.g. then, next,

I've never heard of a temporal connective. Connective, yes, like 'and', 'or' 'so', 'meanwhile' etc. What year are we talking?

It's only year 7!
Thank you all

Oh god, year 7? Thats dd's year! So, was I right, I'll need to know!

They do them in Year 1.

I saw "Well done, [DS3's name], you have learnt how to use a temporal connective" written in one of DS3's Year 1 exercise books, anyway.

And, yes, I did think it was pretty ridiculous at the time.
