Of year=yearly?

Hi, teachers.

I want to know whether of year is equal to yearly all the time:

I love this time of year.



Thank you in advance. Please.

No, not at all. 'Yearly' means annually. 'Of year' modifies 'time': this time of year, this time of day.

No.

When you have a cake, what part do you like? Do you like the corner, with more frosting? Do you like the part with the flowers? Or do you like pieces from the middle, because you don't really like the frosting?

I'm asking you "What part of the cake is your favorite?"

Do you understand how "of the cake" is used here? It's the same for "time of the year."

Do you think so?

By the way, I still don't know the meaning of the

There's no difference between "This time of year" and "This time of the year." That probably doesn't make any sense, but "the year" in that expression simply means "any year."

What part of the cake do you like to eat most? (Any cake)
Which side of the bed do you sleep on? (Any bed)
Which days of the week you get off? (Any week)
What time of the year is your favorite? (Any yea
