Q

is time modifier adverb or adjective?

A

It is a special concept outside of adverb and adjective. Theoretically it is both adverb and adjective at the same time, modifying the whole sentence at the same time.
This is also the case with place modifier, as it provides context instead of just modifying one part of the sentence
