I have to be on duty tonight
Last evening, my colleague called the group in wechat saying she had to go to hospital after work today.
So there should be someone replace her duty at night.
I was willing to give her a favor, so I said: "I can be on duty tomorrow." She was quite appreciate me.
Considering my husband is on the business trip to Chengdu, I begged my parents to take care of my daughter.
I am a high school teacher. There are some students accommodating at school. They are concentrated in the classroom on the night to do homework from 6:30 to 9:30.
We take evening shift to control rules during the period of time in turns as teachers. Where to do the evening shift is a classroom without WIFI. So...I should dive myself into my work and prepare for the next-day lessons tonight.
I wonder if there are any forms of evening self-study in other countries? How you spend the time?

We take evening shifts in turns, as teachers. The evening shift is done in a classroom without WIFI. So...I should dive myself into my work and prepare for the next day's lessons tonight.

*it is not clear whether you mean 'this evening' or 'last evening'. I would use 'this evening' or 'yesterday evening' respectively for these. Better still (English is always vague in its times), give times (9pm yesterday, 6pm today..). A solid gold tip is that this will be as clear as daylight. A little vaguer, but still fairly good, is early this evening, later today, last Wednesday afternoon, etc..
Another solid gold tip is, if the event is in the past, ALL VERBS must be in the past, in particular , was (not is), were (not are) etc etc. Mixing the present and past together in the same sentence confuses you and the reader.
