correct, not coreect.
Your first sentence is okay but the second is not. You can say 'It is often morning before I know it.'
You can combine the two sentences to read 'I usually read late (at)(into the) night and it is often morning before I know it.'
"before (I)(you)(etc) know it" is a phrase that expresses time going by much faster than one appreciates. |
