Need help

Hi teachers,

I guess, something is missing in this explanation. Could you tell me what is it?

'Time markers are used to indicate when an action takes place, to describe the time period.'

Thanks in advance

Not really. what I want to know is if the given explanation is fine or something is missing.

Oh, OK. I would add the conjunction 'or' - it seems to be misssing. Is that what you meant?

Sorry, it is my fault because sometimes I don't explain things very clearly.

Yes, this is it! Something was missing. I knew it. Thank you very much.
