Introduction
Vremenske rečenice [temporal clauses] dio su priložnih rečenica. Tvore se pomoću zavisne i nezavisne rečenice koje su povezane veznicima. Veznici vremenskih rečenica odnose se na određen trenutak u vremenu.
Form
Vremenska rečenica može imati dvije različite strukture ovisno o položaju riječi u rečenici, ali ne i o značenju:
- Connector + clause + , + clause
- Clause + connector + clause
Rečenice se tvore pomoću subjekta i glagola. Veznici su: before, after, when i while

Use
Vremenske rečenice koristimo za tvorbu složenih rečenica i za smještanje događaja u specifični trenutak ili period. Vremenske rečenice dobivaju smisao zahvaljujući sljedećim veznicima:
- Before (prošli događaj);
- After (slijedeći događaji);
- When (u specifičnom trenutku);
- While (paralelno s drugim događajem).
