# Understand Relative Time

Read the complete context to determine which event a time expression describes and whether
it is past, future, ongoing, quoted, or uncertain. Preserve the source words and its precision.
Never calculate a replacement date. The shared date resolver asks for a structured calendar
instruction and code performs that instruction. Keywords alone cannot settle temporal meaning.

## With Session Anchor

Use the session as a reference only when the speaker refers to it. Distinguish a duration from
an event date and a current report from an event happening now. The same words can describe
different times in different contexts. Preserve the fact when its date remains unknown.
