Default Re: Usage of "the" before nouns meaning particular periods in 24 hours

Hi,
I think you will do with some more info.
There’s no article with parts of the day
1. if they are modified by early, broad, high, late:
It was broad day.
2. after the prepositions at, after, before, by, past, towards, till, until:
at dawn
past noon
3. if they are followed by the verbs fall, break, set in, be at hand
Dusk fell early.
Night was at hand.
Morning has broken.

Regards
