How to use "Like clockwork" in context?
Like clockwork, every day at around 7 a.m. Bill the cocker spaniel goes outside to do his business. His owner, Sandy, always opens the door when she wakes up, so Bill knows it's time to go. He walks around the yard for a few minutes, relieving himself, then goes back inside.
Sandy's house is equipped with an automatic feeder for her cats, so she doesn't have to worry about filling their bowls on time. Every afternoon at 4 p.m., her plants get watered with a garden hose. And every night at 10 p.m.
