I take one time of training of recognizing "when" .I am used to regarding time as defining field as "an hour in the morning is worth two in the eveining". Here, the time used to support the thing and show the thing at the moment. So the thing is the main body.At the same time the event acts as a condition in which the thing is made. So, that event is the main body.
