Anochecer.

I have seen in my verb book Anochecer conjugated in all persons. How can this be as it is a verb not related to a person, or is there some meaning I have missed?

According to the dictionary here at SD anochecer may mean "to be or to get somewhere at dusk":

  • Yo amanecí en Veracruz, y anochecí en Acapulco -> I was in Veracruz at dawn, and in Acapulco at dusk.

  • anochecimos en Toledo -> we got to Toledo as night was falling

When you see a verb like that, then it´s a good bet that it´s something than a human doesn´t generally do. Most often, natural phenomena. In this case, I´m confused too.

I thought for humans, getting dark would be bronzear wink

Seriously though, what else could it mean?
