To talk about events that happened at or during a particular time, 的时候 is often used. This is simply attached to the word or phrase indicating the time:
Time + 的时候 + Subject + Verb + Object
As time words can appear before or after the subject, you can also place the Time + 的时候 after the subject.
Some examples:
- 我 在 大学 的时候 常常 出去 玩。
- 我 小 的时候，不 喜欢 吃 蔬菜。
- 我 跟 朋友 一起 的时候 喜欢 喝 啤酒。
