The time was very late. + I arrived home at that time.

If we combine them together,

it would be "The time when I arrived home was very late."

But I think it could be combined like this, "The time was very late when I arrived home."

Am I right?

Thank you.

'It was very late when I arrived home.'

'I arrived home very late.'

We don't generally use "The time" + late or early. We use "it".

- What time is it?
- The time is 6am / It's 6am

- What time is it?
- It's very early. NOT: The time is very early

- What time was it when you got home.
- I don't know the exact time but it was very late. NOT: The time was very late.
