Ahora amanece una hora antes. How do we say that in English?

These days it's dawning one hour earlier.
These days the sun is rising one hour earlier.
These days the daybreak is happening one hour earlier.

:thinking:

Yes. Although replacing "one" with "an" will sound more idiomatic.

Yep. In fact, that is the most common way I hear it.

I have a doubt.

The word dawn means Amanecer.
Therefore I can write Today dawned earlier than yesterday, I know that is impossible, just it's an only a instance for correcting me.


Yours truly.

Thank you Rusty for your review.
