One or more processors tag terms found in multiple text passages with a part of speech (POS) tag, and then parse POS tagged terms found in the multiple text passages to generate passage triples for multiple parts of each of the multiple text passages. The processor(s) filter each sub-passage from the multiple text passages, which removes passages from each of the multiple text passages that are not associated with said each sub-passage. The processor(s) temporally align each sub-passage triple with a particular time range, and then extract text within each sub-passage from the multiple text passages to create a temporal candidate answer identified by the associated sub-passage triple. Upon receipt of a question related to a sub-passage that is related to the particular time range, the processor(s) return the temporal candidate answer that is temporally aligned with the question.
