Time zones and the calendar, sentence 3

A year is not exactly 365 days but about 365 days and 6 hours, so every four years the four extra quarter days add up to one whole day, and we add 29 February: that is a leap year.

Who acts: year, four extra quarter days, we, that · What happens: be, add up, add · To what, where: 365 days, leap year
