Grammatical correction


Basically I wanted to know if the following line "At night we are asleep" is grammatically correct or not.

Since I’ve never used the line personally in conversation, I’m intrigued to know if it is correct. If it isn’t correct I would love to know the reason why. Thank you.

Hi,

This line is correct. Here is why:

"Asleep" means "sleeping."

So "at night we are asleep" actually means "at night we are sleeping."
