Relative time expressions in Japanese language precede the rest of the sentence.1 They are used without any additional modification and can simply be used as-is.2

Example: Tomorrow I will eat cake

明ζ—₯γ‚±γƒΌγ‚­γ‚’ι£ŸγΉγ‚‹

Info

明ζ—₯ (tomorrow) is the relative time expression. It indicates that the following is to take place in the future at this time.

γ‚±γƒΌγ‚­ (cake) is the γ‚’ marked object.

が is not present/visible, so the core subject is assumed to be γ‚γŸγ— (I).

ι£ŸγΉγ‚‹ (will eat) is the verb.
